Embroidered Zipper Bag

I got to see this bag stitched out by a fellow sewist and I fell in love. From across a room, it looks like the fabric has been fussy cut to fit the design, but it lures you in and you can't help but glide your hand across the relief of the stitching, and that's when you realize the fabric takes a backseat here, the design is from the stitches.  Talk about texture, it's a bag you want to pet!  My first "in the hoop" bag project. Pattern from "Stitch Delight."
