Fendi Knockoff Bag CAL--CLOSED--Please no requests for pattern

Mom w/a Motif · January 6, 2006

I'm not really a ruffly pink purse kind of girl but I think I could be a black ruffly purse girl (oh no - do you think that's what people will call me? )

You are too funny :lol If you want to be a black ruffly purse girl, then you go! Girl!

Shelena- I am planning to knit it after I'm done crocheting it. I don't know what the 'rules' are for the board, if it were up to me you could knit it, but... :shrug

My goodness!

Hi Sadie- I think it is a typo, I think it's supposed to be (Row 58). I got confused when I was doing the ruffle foundation row, she says 'Continue SC on the outside of the purse. Crochet on SC on each peak and one SC in each valley of the ribbing rows (I think that's just to let us know when we get there, on the sides of the flap). *Turn at the third row of peak ribbing and SC along the peak rows.* ???' I just ignored all that, crocheted all around the flap, and the back of the flap, too (so you are crocheting in a square). I think the ruffle is supposed to go all the way around the flap. So... If anyone gets stuck... Here is a picture, I hope you can see it clearly enough (I hate my camera--either too much light or not enough...) Anyway..

See how the ruffle goes all the way around the flap? (The pic is clickable, too)

Thanks for all the tips Tina! They are really helpful.
I had one question, though. I'm on row 45 and I noticed on the pattern at row 2-58 there is a note in brackets that says "...until last row (Row 38)". Is that a typo? I guess I'm a little confused because I'm doing 58 rows, right?

I also wanted to add in regards to the 'two strands' discussions, if it helps, I'm using a chunky weight and It seems perfect. I haven't found that I need to use two strands.

Thanks Tina! I'm still a bit of an amateur and I wanted to make sure I've got it right. All your tips are very helpful, thanks again! :hug

Wow...the bag looks great! I need to start mine soon. A little intimidated tho I might add...

Lisa :hook

Mom w/a Motif · January 6, 2006

Lisa- You shouldn't be too intimidated by this, it's pretty easy up to the ruffle. Which is also pretty easy- if you ignore half of the directions, like I did. :lol If you get stuck, that's what we're all here for! We'll all help you. That's what a Crochet-A-Long is all about!! :manyheart

Allright Tina I'm dying to see more pics I'm on my ruffle I'm doing as per your instructions to get the ribbed look.

Mom w/a Motif · January 6, 2006

Alisha did you see this post? I added pictures this morning. Does that help at all? :think

I am doing my ruffly differently, so it looks more like the knitted bag with the ribbed ruffle. Rachel, you might try this if you want.

For the ruffle, I am working up til row 5. After you finish row 5, Ch about 8. (Or longer??) Turn. Sc in the eight chains.

Sl st to the next sc on row 5.

Ch 1, turn. Sc (In Back loops only, throughout, for the ribbed look) in each sc.

At the end, ch 1, turn. Sc all the way back (BLO), sl st to next sc on row 5. Does that sound clear? I hope so. I know it makes sense to me, but I'm doing it, so... All the images should be clickable so you can see up close. Then, this is what it should look like when you get going after a while:

Debi- It might look like I am done, but I'm not!! I still haven't sewn in the lining, I just have it all pinned to the purse. I went ahead and started the ruffle anyway. *Someone* took my black thread- so until I find it, or buy some new thread.... I won't be able to finish this purse...

Tina

And here's a picture of the progress today:

Sorry that last picture is so bad, I've redone it five times and it still comes out looking like that when you click it. :think

My thirteen year old located my black thread, too, so I'll be able to sew in the lining soon.

Tina

Chiscrochetcrazy · January 6, 2006

I was waiting to see the bottom one that's what mine looks like :cheer Thanks Girl :hug Duh just realized those last 2 pics were allready on the other post :oopsI think I'll go take a nap :blush

sunshine1977 · January 7, 2006

Wow Tina! Your bag looks awesome!! Thanks for the instructions for your ruffle. I am totally winging the rest of the bag, but your ruffle will be perfect!! Got my lining material today too...it is gonna be lined in a pale silverly pink satin...

mimi_mia · January 7, 2006

Wow you girls are really going good on that bag........when I start mine I'll be able to check back here for all of your tips and modifications...Thanks they're looking good!!

:hook

Mom w/a Motif · January 7, 2006

Oooo.. that sounds pretty already, Laurie! What color is the bag going to be? After I am done crocheting this one, I want to knit one in sage green. Then light blue, then..

Tina

Chiscrochetcrazy · January 7, 2006

Be careful when you're making the ruffle mine kept getting longer I was adding a stitch to every rw :blush now I'm carefully counting.

liz31 · January 7, 2006

Your bag looks amazing. I'm going to have to give this a whirl. Great Job!

Chiscrochetcrazy · January 7, 2006

Here's my progress so far

Chiscrochetcrazy · January 7, 2006

Well I just posted a pic but it's not there ???

dogymom · January 7, 2006

Alisha it's adorable!!! Looks like you're doing a fantastic job!

Mom w/a Motif · January 7, 2006

Alisha it looks just like mine, but white! I love it!! You're doing great. :cheer

Tina

sunshine1977 · January 7, 2006

Mine is heather gray with the silvery pink lining...I am totally not following the pattern...Mine is done in regular single crochet for the body, not back post SC, so it is going to be smoother/flatter looking than the pattern and will probably be bigger than the pattern as well...I am one of those people who has to carry everything but the kitchen sink in my purse, so I wanted mine a little bigger...Will post a pic as soon as mine starts to look like something and as soon as I can drag DH away from his train layout...I have major construction going on just behind me! :lol :lol

Stanciepants · January 7, 2006

I'm still waiting for a trip to find the yarn I want. Hopefully I'll be able to get that this weekend. Mine will be pink in some fom but I'm not exactly sure of the exact color I want. So it's off to the yarn store for me. This might be dangerous, as the lat time I went without knowing exactly what I wanted, I walked out with about 10 skeins that I didn't need but had to have. Wish me Luck!

Shelena · January 7, 2006

Ok...I have what I think is a really good question???

I sent in my request for the pattern...haven't heard back yet.

But I thought that the designer was sending the pattern for knitting this bag.

Am I wrong? If not, then where do we get the crocheted version from? :think :think

I might have missed something in the post on the other forum.

I dont mind which pattern I would get as I would like to try both versions.

You gals are making me crazy with all the loverly bags that you are making, they all look so scrumptious as everyone is doing so well on them:cheer

Now I just want....no change that to I HAVE to have this pattern:D

and I have to have it now:lol

I am sooo impatient aren't I!

nittany168 · January 7, 2006

I too asked the designer for a copy of this cute pattern, no answer so far:( . I was hoping to get it before tomorrow afternoon because I wanted to take it with me to work on while on vacation. Oh well, I guess I'll have to move on to a different project for now

Kathy

Mom w/a Motif · January 7, 2006

Well I am almost done, gals... With the crocheted version. I still haven't sewn in the lining or sewn up the sides, though. But, here's a picture anyway:

What do you all think? :think (Image is clickable and seems to be working for once...)

Tina

Lucki721 · January 7, 2006

Oh wow, that's really awesome! Great job!! :yay I can't wait to see what it looks like with the handle on it!!

It's a Fendi!!!! Beautiful!

Okay now, inquiring minds. What kind of straps? How will you attach the straps? How are you attaching the sides together?

I'm on row 40!!!!
