Secret Women's Business Bag

This is the first stitchery of many planned by Southern Cross Needlework. The bag is made for those projects you are working on where everything can be put in the bag. It has pockets for those items you generally lose in the bottom of the bag and plenty of room for material and other bits and pieces.

This bag is handy for patchwork, embroidery/tapestry or for general use e.g. baby's bag or a general travel bag.

The bag and stitchery are available as a chart for you to use. Stitching directions are included with various stitch usage.

Below is the same product range showcasing our packaging and attention to detail and presentation.

Southern Cross Needlework designs, creates and produces tapestry and cross stitch kits in Australian flora and themes.

Australasia is a diverse region. It harbours many treasures for the embroiderer to explore.

Australia is not only a harsh, unforgiving land; it is also very beautiful. Much of that beauty is showcased in its native flora and fauna. Vivid colours dot the landscape, particularly after rain.

That richness has been realised also, to translate events significant to Australia.

Southern Cross Needlework has captured this vibrancy and diversity for all embroiderers to enjoy.
