Macaron Coin PUrse

Mini Wallet

Japanese Style Crochet Bag

I really love this purse, the pattern is very easy and quick. I did a lot of modifications, I crocheted more rows, so the bag is bigger. And I made the handle longer.

Pattern:

4/22/2010:

Just finished Row 3.

4/24/2010:

Finished Row 21, I probably will add more rows, I think the bag is a little bit too small, but not sure how many rows?

4/25/2010:

Finished Row 29, but I want the bag bigger, so I decided to add extra 8 more rows. So total is 37 Rows. I will start the borders tomorrow.

4/26/2010:

Finish all the crochet part, just need to do the lining and sew button and handle.

4/27/2010:

Tried to sew lining, but it is too difficult, so I gave up. I should sew the lining after top and bottom edge done, it would be easier.

Sew the flowers, it looks very pretty, I am very happy with the result.

And I decided to use magnetic snaps instead of button, just ordered this morning, hopefully, I would get it in few days. Then my purse will officially done!!

Pics of my new shopping bags

Made 2 bags couple days ago. One with long handle and one with short handle, I used Target Shopping bag as the pattern. So they are pretty big, can hold up a lot of grecory. Love the fabrics, they both are great for Spring and Summer.

I personally love the long handle one, coz the fabric remind me 70s, very retro. Both bags are be folded, after that, you tight it with the ribbons (sew in ribbons). very compact. you can put it in your purse or your car, so you will never forget to bring your own bag to shop.

Here is my favorite:

Welcome to My Blog!

Hi everyone,

This is my 1st time post on blogger. This blog is focused on all my craft works or anything related to crafts.

I hope everyone will enjoy my blog.

I made this purse last week. I really like it, I used Japanese Fabrics and some home decoration fabrics. Because I am new to sewing, so it took me about 4 to 5 hours. It supposed to take 2 hours. hahahaha....
