Cross Stitch Roses on a Burlap Bag

This is a great idea for Mother’s Day or any other time you might need to give a gift to someone who loves flowers.

You can cross-stitch right onto a burlap bag, because the weave of the fabric has holes that correspond to the holes in cross-stitch fabric.

This pattern idea comes from Jessica of Cutesy Crafts via Polka Dot Chair, and it’s a pretty and pretty easy project that uses five colors of embroidery floss.

Of course you could stitch the pattern onto regular cross-stitch fabric if you wanted, but I love the look of this little bag. It might be great for a gift for a summer wedding or an end-of-the-year teacher gift, too.
