Tessellated Sweet Bag (Punto Antico)

A classic design inspired by the beautiful tile work seen in Italianate architecture. The tile is outlined by drawn threads, embellished and reinforced with Antique Hem Stitch, and decorated with Satin stitch and Bullion knot motifs, and the whole item is constructed into a delightful little bag, useful as a giftbag, or a multitude of other uses.

Punto Antico was traditionally worked in monochromatic tones, but the subtle shades of modern coloured linens work wonderfully with the lustre of the Pearl thread and the texture of the Bullion knot tile designs to give this project the classic elegance of yesteryear. 

Comprehensive stitch diagrams and construction instructions are included.
