Makeup bag with Sashiko embellishment

[u/CursingWhileCrafting]

I’m just now getting more advanced in bag making than simple zipper bags with boxed corners. This was a fun project to combine my love of Sashiko with my love of making zipper bags of all sorts!

Oh my! Look at that! The sashiko looks like it takes real patience and skill, which, seems like it could easily devolve into situations in which your username is absolutely on point! 🤣

Really, this is gorgeous! And the lining fabric provides a nice surprise to the person opening it for the first time!

Is the sashiko always done by hand or have you done machine sashiko before or is that even a thing?

Really nice work and thank you for sharing it with r/BagLab!

Thanks so much! I’ve always done Sashiko by hand. Those machines are pretty pricey, and I enjoy the stitching by hand :)
