Joined February 2020
Explore the art of punch needle and craft your very own unique bag from concept to completion. Begin by gathering inspiration and creating a mood board filled with images, palettes, and textures that resonate with your style. Choose a pattern that aligns with your vision, then transfer it onto a tightly stretched fabric using a light source for precision. With the pattern in place, plan your color palette and select stitch types that enhance contrast, volume, and texture.
Dive into the creation process by executing your design with carefully chosen threads, ensuring to cover the entire pattern while adding intricate details and refining any irregularities. As you progress, focus on defining edges and achieving a cohesive look with balanced volume and visual harmony. Finish by separating the fabric from the frame, trimming excess material, and sewing the pieces together to form the bag's structure. Add lining, closure systems, and reinforcements, giving your punch needle bag a polished, professional finish.
