Embroidered English Lavender Bags - more designs

As I purchased a large bag of English Lavender I'm working hard on a number of different designs to embroider onto the bags so I can use up the lavender!
Design 2 and 3 have been completed and I've made up into 5 bags of each design. Design 2 is now available on my online shop along with Design 1.
I'm currently working on Design 4 which will be in hand embroidery.
                                                                 

My Lavender designs in hand embroidery
   



These will make ideal gifts for family or friends or just for you.
