Made a little crocheted purse yesterday. The pattern is from Tangled Happy . I used a super chunky yarn and a K sized hook, so my bag came out more adult sized rather than the small version she has on her blog. I also opted to line mine.
I made a liner out of remnant fabric and hand stitched it into the bag. I doubled the liner, so that you would see the right side of the fabric whether you were looking into the bag or through the holes made from the shells. I thought about adding a snap, but decided it didn't need it.
The flower is one of my favorite parts. I used a little bit of water to dampen the flower so it would lay flat. Okay, so that is what I did yesterday! I have a huge list of crochet projects I need to get back to, but this was a nice diversion. :)

Sallie! That is TOO cute! I'm loving it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat fabric looks a lot like the back of my seminary-quilt that I love so much, so it makes me love it even more. :)
This bag is adorable! I'm in the process of making one right now! Saw your project on ravelry and found your blog. I'm an assistant/youth pastor's wife who plans on homeschooling our daughter (and her future siblings) when she reaches school age. So glad I found your blog!
ReplyDeleteHello Lauren! You are my first "unknown" blog follower. :) So glad to meet you. You'll find I'm not much for consistency, I blog mostly when the mood strikes and I have a few minutes. Yes, the crocheted bag has been a huge hit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment.
Blessings,
Sallie
