Create a quilted Christmas tree crossbody bag with this digital in-the-hoop (ITH) machine embroidery design. Includes five sizes for hoops from 6×10 to 10.5×15 inches, plus illustrated step-by-step instructions. An embroidery machine is required, and a sewing machine is used to make the strap.

Bring the holidays with you everywhere you go with this sweet project that features pieced fabrics and intricate quilting that's done for you!

The design gives you five sizes, and features a quilted Christmas tree in graduated shades of green, with beautiful quilting for a cozy look and feel. A curved color-block top and coordinating quilted back and flap closure complete the design, while the crossbody strap makes it easy to wear hands-free at holiday markets, parties, or while shopping for gifts. 

This fun In-the-hoop bag is built in three simple hoopings that all feature whimsical quilting (flap, back, front), with clear, beginner-friendly instructions that walk you through cutting, hooping, piecing, quilting, and finishing from start to finish. You'll make the straps on your sewing machine before you begin the bag on your embroidery machine.

Love a little embellishment? You can dress up your tree with buttons or crystals for a fun look!
