There is something rather special about autumn. As the evenings begin to draw in and the leaves turn to shades of gold and russet, many of us find ourselves reaching once again for our favourite stitching projects.

Our Autumn is Best Measured in Stitches project bag has been created to celebrate that season. Its gentle palette of soft duck-egg blue, warm pumpkin oranges, sage greens and creamy neutrals has been carefully chosen to complement Tom Thumb’s Carriage, while remaining equally beautiful for any autumn stitching project.

The front of the bag features a delightful autumn scene surrounded by a rich pumpkin border and framed by a charming pumpkin-and-robin print. The reverse is finished in the coordinating pumpkin print, while the inside of the bag reveals a soft autumn plaid with a vintage pumpkin cart illustration. Every detail has been chosen to create a project bag that is as beautiful inside as it is out.

For those wishing to personalise their bag still further, we have included an optional coordinating fabric strip designed to sit above the zip, adding an extra decorative touch to your finished project.

Whether you are stitching Tom Thumb’s Carriage or another favourite design, Autumn is Best Measured in Stitches is a beautiful companion for the season, keeping your stitching safe, organised and ready to accompany you wherever your needle and thread may take you.
