DANCE Duffel Bag

[llshiff]

Finished my grand-daughter's birthday present.  She requested a duffel bag to use for dance.  I used the pattern http://www.lookatwhatimade.net/crafts/yarn/crochet/free-crochet-patterns/crochet-duffel-purse-pattern/ as the base for the bag, but modified it to be bigger.  I am not good with zippers, so I used a heart shaped flap.  I am excited to see her reaction to it when she gets it.

 

I used the letter pattern from http://www.mooglyblog.com/the-moogly-crochet-alphabet/

 

It is so great to have so many free patterns and resources available, especially when making something that does not have an exact pattern!

That big, broad strap will be amazingly comfortable when her bag is stuffed with clothes. I always make the mistake of making straps too narrow and they hurt.

I like this a lot - now thinking that I need to look for a crochet duffel I could make my step-daughter for her taekwondo things.
