Posted by This is the Nummi bag from the Breaking the Pattern book.
A simple bag made all the more beautiful by the Sashiko embroidery I painstakingly carried out!
All the details and further photos are on the Minerva website here.
They provided me with the pre-marked ( yes, I cheated!) Sashiko blue cotton for this post.
Love, Lucie xx

that’s lovely Lucie. Do you know Susan Briscoe’s work? She has some super stuff and has written lots of books on Japanese work.

Very impressive stitching – even with the ‘cheat’ fabric. I wish they would do something similar for quilting 🤣

Very impressive, Lucie, and beautifully worked!
Am afraid I’d have threads pulled front, back & centre with all the abuse my bags get. I do trust yours will have pride of place and remain pristine! 😘
