Oooh, very nice. That does not look like your first purse- have you been sneaking in practice

[crochetrae]

Wow! I love the pink and black. I may need to change the colors I had in mind! Do you think we could commission your grandma to do linings for the rest of us? hehehehhehe

[silkymist]

It's beautiful! I know my daughter will want one just like it.

[lhasaapsolady]

Very pretty, nice job.

[MeMe]

lol...yeah my grandma is cool...cause she sews stuff up for me and she trys to teach me a few things...u should see all of the little holes in the lining from where i messed up and she made me do it over...she's great at sewing but she's a big procrastinator....as far as the tutorial...i may be able to write one up cause she made me do most of it myself...

 

but if u want her to do the linings for u...u maybe waiting awhile...lol...she a biggg procrastinator

[CountryCrochet]

That looks great! I've made three of these and I've thought about making a black one - I think I definitely will now!!

Very kewl purse & great job! I've got some questions if that's OK?

You used ribbons to weave vertically in the body of the purse yes & also 1 going horizontally across the top below the wide one at the very top that's tied into a bow?? How'd you end them off in the body of the purse?? Did you cut each 1 & hot glue inside or hand stitch inside to secure each end?? Or did you use 1 really LONG piece of ribbon & weave it in/out thru-out the entire body of the purse & then hand stitch to secure each of the 2 ends (beginning & ending)?? Thanks! Louise

hey Louise,

I only used the piece of ribbon at the very top that was tied into a bow...after i crocheted the bag i traced it onto a piece of regular cotton material and then cut out the shape of the bag. I sewed the two pieces together and then flipped them inside out. I lined the bag with it and used the sewing machine to sew the liner around the top of the bag...I hope I didn't confuse u.

[JoBug]

That is soooooooooooo pretty!! Great job, and a wow to your granny!

[christinascrochethaven]

oooooh ahhhh, so pretty! The lining is awesome...great to have help. My mom helps with my sewing. I never seem to have enough patience for it. :cheer
