The idea
Embroidery is how I slow down after a long week. I put it on a bag I carry every day so I'd actually get to see it.
Process
I sketched each design, transferred it onto the fabric, and stitched it by hand, picking colors and stitches as I went.
Why I keep doing it
It's quiet and slow, which is a nice change from the machine shop.
