Thessaly Floral Embroidered Project Bag Kit by Avlea Folk Embroidery.
The Thessaly Floral Project Bag kit is everything I love to have in a workbag, gathered together in one beautiful package. The bag itself is a finished 12 x 15" cotton workbag printed with the Thessaly Floral design — inspired by a brass tray I found in a flea market in Thessaloniki, worked in antique gold, two shades of green, and alizarin pink with accents of blue and garnet — ready to embroider as you use it. Stitch it up over time, carry it from room to room, take it outside, pack it for a trip. It's a workbag that becomes a piece of folk embroidery in its own right.
The only things you'll need to add are a project and a pair of scissors.
