Chart: Stapelia Variegata Bag – Cross Stitch Design

How to combine creativity, fashion and an eco-friendly spirit? With this superb bag inspired by the Stapelia variegata, also known as the "starfish flower." Its delicate plant motif combined with cork-effect inserts adds a modern, natural and refined touch to this everyday accessory.

Easy to wear in the city or on vacation, this bag seduces with its contemporary style and original materials. The soft shades of the embroidery contrast harmoniously with the gold glitter cork strips, for a result that is both elegant and trendy. An ideal creation for embroidery enthusiasts who want to make a unique and personalized accessory.

The model was embroidered on a 12-thread/cm linen fabric in color 842 (bis) from DMC, worked on 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. This natural fabric particularly highlights the details of the flower and the subtle gradients of its petals. You can also create this model on an 11-thread/cm linen fabric embroidered on 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads or on a 5.5-stitch/cm Aida fabric. An ecru or natural fabric will reinforce the plant-based and authentic spirit of the creation, while a white fabric will bring more contrast to the colors of the motif.

The charts are printed with symbols and colors (DMC ref.) on 6 pages.
