RBG Japanese knot bag and merit badge

I made this Japanese knot bag and merit badge for @Abbeeroad in the Inspiring Women swap. She requested Ruth Bader Ginsberg for her theme.
The bag says, “When there are nine.”

I’ve never heard of a Japanese knot bag before. The minimalist sensibilities of the bag and embroidery go really well together.

I could not love these more. Your stitching is impeccable!!! What stitch did you use so I can try to be equally awesome?

Love this! You are so creative! I like the idea of embroidering on these functional and simple bags!!

The badge with the crown cracks me up! Awesome!!

Thank you. I use a stem stitch when I want nice, smooth curves. It hides uneven stitch lengths, which is an extra plus.

This is awesome! I also have not heard of this style of bag before but I love it.
