My Funky Bandana Bag

[Roli]

There was this skirt at Coldwater Creek made of bandana fabric a few years ago. I tried it on but it didn't suit me. Since then, I've wanted to make something with bandanas and came up with this bag. I developed the motifs through trial and error. They are made with Royal Cotton. The bag is single crochet using Lion Thick and Quick. I used two bandanas for the tie and one for the lining. The straps are edged in cotton to keep them from stretching so much. I actually used the bag yesterday and it was nice and light when compared to my leather one:D . The only thing I would do differently would be to use thick cotton or nylon for the bag since it will have a tendency to pill.

Comments or criticisms?

Very creative! Using a bandana for lining was a great idea too. I'm sure you'll have lots of people asking you to make one for them.
