JULY 31, 2013Zippered Butterfly BagThis bag is created completely in your embroidery hoop, zipper and all! The bag uses a unique technique that places the zipper on top of the bag instead of the side for a look that differs from traditional In the Hoop embroidery. It is the perfect size for makeup, toiletries, or school supplies. The butterfly motif is beautiful and adds the perfect finishing touch.
