I don’t know about you, but many of my friends love to do cross-stitch or other kinds of embroidery. The Hoop-La Project Bag is a round bag designed to hold an 8” or even a 9” embroidery hoop. Inside is a pocket with an elasticated top to hold a small pattern, your threads, and your embroidery scissors.

The shape of this bag is enhanced and even helped by piping. Don’t worry if you haven’t tried piping before; I have included a separate photo tutorial to help you achieve a great finish.

This pattern is supported by a full tutorial video, free to watch on YouTube. You can watch it here.
There are two segments about making and sewing your own piping in the video.

This is a downloadable PDF pattern sent to your email, not a physical product, and cannot be refunded once purchased.
