My girlfriend's purses

I made these purses for my girlfriends as a favor to bring on a group caribbean cruise.  I found the clutch purse pattern on a free pattern website.  I got carried away.  I like my purse to have a closure so I bought buttons and crocheted a small loop.  I felt they needed a lining and an acetate ID pocket.  I like shoulder straps, but was sure the weight would stretch the strap.  I crocheted sc's around a rope.  I took 8 months to make them all.  I was very slow.

 

They loved them!

Wow, very nice. Bet your friend loved them! Not sure I'd have patience to crochet around a rope though. lol

I can see why they took you 8 months! Attention to detail makes all the difference. I'll bet your friends really appreciate the work you did for them.

It is called the Sao Paolo Purse on Caron yarn website.  I had trouble trying to attache the link.  The pattern was written for 3 different colors of yarn but I just used one.  The pattern is only the envelope clutch the rest I added.
