Embroidering and sewing a pouch made easy

Here is how it works: First, your pattern piece is fully embroidered in the embroidery hoop. This technique ensures a special look and makes every pouch a truly unique piece. After cutting it out, the piece is sewn together using a sewing machine – add a zipper and lining, and your bag is finished.

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

• Cotton poplin
• Patchwork fabrics
• Canvas
• Denim (looks extremely great!)
• Faux leather
• Hemp fabrics
• Ripstop, etc.

Embroidery designs and quilting motifs

The YAMI embroidery file contains 7 different designs that you can work with creatively. Particularly practical are the included quilting motifs, with which the bag pattern can easily be equipped with full-cover quilting. This gives your pouch an elegant, fully embroidered surface.

There are a few designs that are a bit more time-consuming, but some are also quick to embroider and still heavenly beautiful. But of course, you should definitely try them all, because actually, one is more beautiful than the other... 🥰

To ensure the finished pouches are exactly symmetrical, the designs are also included in a mirrored format.

Some of the motifs are ancient, traditional Japanese patterns. With motif 7, we had some fun imitating classic Sashiko embroidery. The stitches look a bit like hand embroidery and stand out very well if you use Style-Vil as batting.

Sweet plus: For motif 6, we came up with a little extra: A mini area is embroidered. You can do this with contrasting thread or glitter thread, for example. You can also use plotter vinyl or embroidery film to give your motif a very cool eye-catcher this way.

Tip: If you use plotter vinyl, you should peel off the carrier film beforehand, then after embroidering, tear the film against the seam and iron it on afterwards.
