Viola biflora - pouch - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

Viola biflora - pouch - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an embroidery kit for a small pouch with a simple and botanical motif. The motif shows Viola biflora, a delicate yellow violet also known as Two-flowered Violet, Twin-flowered Violet or Yellow Wood-violet. The yellow flowers, green leaves and slender stems give the pouch a light, natural and classic expression in Gerda Bengtsson’s well-known visual language.

A small botanical motif with Viola biflora

The motif is placed centrally on the front of the pouch. Here, the plant grows up from the base with fine green stems and soft, rounded leaves. The leaves are embroidered in different green shades, giving the motif depth and life.

At the top are the small yellow flowers. They appear as fine points of colour against the light linen background. Together with the green leaves, they give the pouch a fresh and gentle expression.

The motif is simple, yet contains many fine details. The thin stems create movement, while the leaves add fullness. The flowers bring the motif together and make it easy to recognise as a small botanical plant.

The light pouch has a clean and calm expression. The embroidery does not fill the entire surface, but is allowed to stand with space around it. This creates an elegant result where both motif and fabric work together.

A small pouch for storage and gifts

The finished pouch measures 12 x 18 cm. The small format makes it suitable for small items, embroidery accessories, jewellery, buttons or other delicate objects. It can also be used as a personal gift pouch.

The pouch has a practical drawstring closure. This makes it easy to use in everyday life, while still giving it a decorative expression. The Viola biflora motif gives the pouch a distinctive handmade character.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the yellow and green shades a soft and lively character. The colours stand out calmly on the light linen background.

The pouch is embroidered on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The fabric has a fine structure that suits the small motif well. Here, the flowers, leaves and stems all stand out clearly.
