Striped Handbag

[Frangipani]

I used this Valentine's Striped Bag pattern from Lion Brand : www.lionbrand.com/pattern...dsBag.html

 

I lined the inside for more strength with a rose fabric.

nice to see one of these someone made; I had d/l the pattern, but hadn't tried it yet. It's so nice, and good for you with that great looking lining.

[Frangipani]

Thank you so much everyone for the comments! I lined the purse by hand with fishing line! ! I had cut a piece of fabric to fit the base of the bag, then sewed a long piece around that. Then I placed it in the bag and folded the top edges down to fit the depth of the bag and attached it (hope that makes sense)!

Thanks Bec,

 

Makes perfect sense.

Did you use a chenille yarn, or acrylic?

[Frangipani]

Both yarns were acrylic but the burgundy one feels like chenille. I also used two strands of yarn throughout so it's pretty sturdy! I love it!!
