Crocheted purse
Just thought I’d post about the purse I made last spring, as I never got around to do it while I was working on it. I have used this quite a lot this summer, as it is a convenient size and also goes well with my wardrobe. Guess what? I wear a lot of black and grey….
The crocheting part was easy and quite fast, but I did procrastinate in front of the sewing machine for a long, long time before I finished the lining. Sewing is not my thing really, although I’ d love to learn more. In the end I just dived in and sewed, and it turned out quite nice. I fell for the pink fabric, so intense and LOUD.
I found the pattern at Stitch Diva Studios, where it can be downloaded for a small fee. I’ve made a few minor changes, like 2 straps instead of one. The rings that hold the straps comes from an old purse, and I’ve used some leftover cotton yarns (the pinks, white and black), in addition to Cotton Lux from Schachenmayr. I should add a magnetic lock inside the purse, although not really needed. It doesn’t hang open as shown in the picture normally.
