Embellishing the Bag... Yazzii that is!
● Embroidery hoop (suggested size 6”) for practice stitches
● Small piece of fabric to fit in practice hoop
● A piece of fabric that coordinates with your chosen Yazzii bag.
Make sure it is large enough to cover a section of your bag.
This will be the focal part of your project.
● 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 yard Head n Bond Lite (in the dark purple package)
(or other similar fusible, paper-backed material)
● Glue stick (I like Roxanne Glue Baste-It)
● Embroidery Scissors & Fabric Scissors
● Needles: a variety pack works well and sizes 3-9 generally are best for adding beads and using thicker threads
Variety of Threads for Embroidery (Recommended but bring what you like)
● Sue Spargo/Wonderfil Specialty Eleganza Perle Cotton in sizes 3, 5, 8
● Wonderfil Specialty Threads “Fruitti” 12 wt cotton (great for beadwork!)
● DMC Coton Retors Mat
Embellishments:
● Beads: Czech seed beads in sizes 6 & 8 work best with embroidery
● Sequins: (optional) any shape or size
Optional Embellishment kit for $10 payable to Nichole. Available in either warm colors (pinks, oranges, reds, yellows, white) or cool colors (blues, purples, greens, black, gray). You can buy one of each or just the color palette you would like to work with.
The kits will include a variety of my favorite beads and sequins in various sizes that will work great for embroidery!

She is a self-taught fiber artist, stitcher, writer, and teacher who has a weakness for lots of color and anything floral. Her creative journey began when, as a child, she would explore the local fabric shops and craft stores with her mother. She developed a love for fiber arts, and as an adult, hand embroidering printed fabrics became a favorite hobby. That hobby soon became an Instagram feed (@wildboho) and then turned into several books.
She teaches Boho-embroidery workshops and shares her adventures in the world of stitchery online.
Needles Out in her bestselling embroidery series, and the first to feature mixed-media techniques.With more than 100 illustrations and 50 photographs, this highly illustrated hardcover book will reestablish the techniques discussed in Nichole’s previous books and lay a foundation for four new ones: beading/embellishing, stumpwork, fabric painting, and needle felting. Each technique will have three projects, so readers can continue to deepen their embroidery skills.
