Cotton tote bags are amazing, because they're not just super useful - but they also serve as the perfect base to make art! You can embroider essentially any of our patterns onto a tote. Just make sure there is no stretch before using a hoop as support.
The designed used for this Tote bag is inspired by a beautiful flower shop in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was first released as a part of our pattern program, which is included in the Charles and Elin Academy.

Mindful Embroidery Book (20 patterns): https://lekadre.com/mindful-embroidery-book/
Some soothing embroidery relaxation with a simple design of a door. You can really embroider anything, which is just one of the incredible things with this artistic medium.
So there is no excuse to not bring out your threads and needle and get started stitching. For the contours on this piece Charles has used the backstitch technique. Followed by split stitches and French knots for the greenery and florals above the entrance.
If you're unsure of the techniques you can have a look at this article, which introduces you to the only 7 stitches we use for ALL our designs: https://lekadre.com/embroidery-stitches/

We strongly prefer to use the carbon paper transfer method for all our Architectural hand embroidery designs.
The reason is that the carbon paper allows for on-top transfer so that we can use a thicker cotton canvas as a base. With a thicker fabric you cannot see the pattern through and hence the necessity of an on-top transfer.
With a thicker fabric as base, you will have more support for a detailed Architectural design. Furthermore it creates a more rigid and artistic impression when completed and framed.
Lastly, the carbon paper also add a level of authenticity as you redraw the design by hand. We just love it!

When you are a beginner of embroidery it is the most important to find embroidery patterns that makes you feel inspired. Don't choose designs based on what you think will be the easiest, but rather based on what you think look the best.

Personalise your Clothes with Modern Hand embroidery: https://charlesandelinacademy.com/p/upcycle-recycle-clothes-embroidery
Put your best work on display on your back! That is exactly what I (Elin) did on Charles jeans jacket with one of his best work. He has been wanting to use this embroidery piece for something spectacular, and what better than to sew it onto your favourite jacket?
One of the magical things with hand embroidery is its wide applicability. Just as much as you can have your best work on display on the wall at your home, you can also attach it onto your clothes. By embroidering a patch onto for example your jacket, your jacket becomes an artpiece in itself! PLUS everyone you pass will get to enjoy it without having to visit your house.
Due to the large size of this embroidery I used Vliesofix to first iron it onto the jeans. This is to create stability and fixation so that I could be sure the patch would stay in the place I wanted throughout the stitching process.
In case your jacket has an inner lining just like this one does, be sure to open the lining at the bottom first. You don't want the stitches to show through on the inside, but rather be hidden behind the inner lining.
You could technically have left the patch with just the Vliesofix, but to also add stitches around the edges secures the patch even more. You can be calm knowing that you can easily wash it in the washing machine and wear it out without the risk of it falling off. Plus, for this particular piece it added the feeling that the patch is actually embroidered straight onto the jacket from the beginning as opposed to on a separate fabric.
Hope you found this inspiring! Please subscribe and give the video a thumbs up so we can spread the creative love to more people :)
Happy stitching, Elin
