Another one that went to Germany for another cousin. I appliqued the Waratahs on the front pocket using the broderi perse method,using mono filament (invisible thread) and tiny zig zag stitch to applique .This is the last bag because there are no more 'till I make more!

The words are, "Greetings from Australia".

Shirlene, It was a piece of fabric with Aust. flowers on it. I fussy cut them then appliqued them to the piece of material. It is not an embroidery design.Ricky.

Oh - darn, I am dissapointed. As I am sure I will never find the fabric.

She was. And you know what? While she was traipsing around Australia on a working holiday, her mum "borrowed" it!
