The Bag that I Copied

[shortylam]

It went all the way back to when I first came to this forum that I saw this "Fendi CAL". But I came a little bit too late as the lady who distributed the pattern no longer did. So I said "what the heck, I can do this" and gathered some Bernat softee chunky yarn in pink and whip up something similar.

 

I made the body first as it was just sc all the way around. Then the flap was kinda trickier as I never did ruffles before. But I learned and frogged some couples of times. And it came out alright I guess. Here's the pic (clickable image):

 

 

I guess I'm getting good at copying things without the pattern thanks to c'ville. I'm so happy

You did a fantastic job with this purse. I love how you were able to copy it without a pattern and just figure it out as you went along and make this all your own. I really like the contrasting yarn bow because it's not so big it doesn't overwhelm the purse - and the ruffles turned out just perfectly balanced for the bag part of the purse. Very impressive!

That is VERY VERY GOOD! The purse looks just like the Fendi bag. You really nailed it!

[tinkerpuppet]

Great purse! I'm in awe that you just whipped that up on your own, I aspire to being able to do that one day...

[CrazeeMoi]

Fantastic!! I love your ruffle!!

[mimicat]

Ooo! It turned out really good! Did you see the way I did the ruffle? (It was posted in the Fendi CAL thread...) I have been wanting to make another one, in green.

 

Yours turned out really good!

thanks for all your nice comments. I feel so reading all of them. The Fendi CAL provided me enough information to figure out how to make the bag, even without the pattern. The only time I frogged was when I did the ruffles but then I figured out my own way (which is kind of similar to what Tina did on hers).

 

I really like this bag and if I have enough time there'll be another one as a gift for one of my cousins.
