HEARTbag | Embroidery file

A great day to give away your heart: HEART bag embroidery file for embroidery and sewing

The HEART bag embroidery file is the perfect choice if you want to combine embroidery and sewing. With this file, you can create very special fully embroidered pattern pieces, which are subsequently sewn together with a sewing machine. Simple, clear, and also suitable for beginners.

The small embroidery file is also available separately for embroidery hoops starting at 13 x 18 cm.

Embroidery and sewing bags made easy

Here's how it's done: First, your pattern piece is fully embroidered in the embroidery hoop. This technique provides a special look and makes every little bag a true one-of-a-kind. After cutting it out, the piece is sewn together using a sewing machine – add a zipper and lining, and your bag is finished.

The motifs are intended for bag fabrics, so they are perfect for

• Cotton poplin
• Patchwork fabrics
• Canvas
• Denim
• Faux leather
• Hemp fabrics
• Ripstop and similar materials

Most of the materials we used for the example images come from Snaply. You can find holographic faux leather, for example, on Amazon^*. However, you can also use the separate mandala to embellish clothing, bags, and accessories.
