Viola biflora - pouch - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

"Fjeld viol" (Viola biflora) - pouch - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an embroidery kit for a fine small fabric pouch with a classic plant motif. This version is embroidered on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B and has a finished size of 14 x 20 cm. The motif shows Viola biflora, also known as Two-flowered Violet, Twin-flowered Violet or Yellow Wood-violet, as a simple plant with small yellow flowers, green leaves and delicate stems.

A small plant portrait of Viola biflora

On the front of the pouch, Viola biflora appears as a complete and calm motif. The plant grows up from the base with several green stems spreading in different directions. This gives the embroidery a natural movement, as if the plant has been captured in a small fragment from nature.

The leaves are round and soft in shape. They are embroidered in green shades, creating variation and bringing the motif to life. Some leaves appear dense and full, while others have a lighter expression.

The yellow flowers sit at the top of the fine stems and light up the motif. The colour creates a warm contrast to the green leaves and the light linen background. The small bud beside the flower adds another botanical detail and gives the motif a more narrative quality.

Viola biflora is not a large or showy motif. Its beauty lies precisely in its simple expression. There is space around the embroidery, allowing the plant to stand out clearly on the fabric.

An embroidered pouch for small everyday items

The finished pouch measures 14 x 20 cm. The size makes it suitable for small items, jewellery, buttons, embroidery accessories, thread, needles or other things you would like to keep neatly gathered.

The pouch has a drawstring closure, making it both decorative and practical. It can be used in the sewing basket, in a bag or as a small gift pouch. The embroidered motif gives the pouch a personal and handmade expression.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the green and yellow colours a soft, natural character. This suits Gerda Bengtsson’s simple and precise botanical language well.

The fabric is Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The light background highlights the fine shapes of Viola biflora and gives the pouch a clean, classic expression. The 10B fabric makes this version slightly larger than the corresponding pouch on finer linen.
