Addicted to Fat Bottom Bags- My 2nd One!

[yarndiva]

Here is another one that I just finished last night:

 

 

I used 2 strands of mercerized cabled cotton in WW and an H hook (yes, I do crochet tight). The yarn was in a cone and it was faded on the top and sides, so to make a tweedy affect I took the inner and outer strands and crocheted them together.

 

It's kinda heavy, but if my friend wants another one, at least I have an extra bag to give away or to sell to someone else!

 

I am making yet another one in a dark denim cotton that I won on eBay last year.

 

Hope to finish that one soon!

That looks GREAT Beth! LOVE the color.

[yarndiva]

Thanks JoAnn!

 

I have 2 more cones of this color and a light periwinkle one.

 

I have decided to use my stash of cotton yarn to make FBB's. It's an easy, no brainer pattern that I already memorized!

 

Here's to Fat Bottom Bag Fever!

Love the blue!

[Riohnna]

I love this!!!

[Gardener]

What a gorgeous color! Nice bag. I just finished one too.

[Empress Busy Bee]

Very nice!

It is addictive. I've made 10 and hope to make several more this year. LOL

[Simply Hooked]

Looks great..It's on my list to try.

Lovely bag!

[yarndiva]

Thanks Everyone!

 

I am halfway done with my 3rd bag. It's a bright pink and white tweedy cotton bag and since I used hdc instead of herringbone hdc, I will have to line it (no biggie). I find if I use the hdc, there is more texture to the bag and I can crochet it faster

I wanted to ask you what kind of cotton yarn do you use?? I have peaches & cream in cones, I'm just wondering if that would work??

I really like your purse?? especially blue that, one of my favorite colors

[yarndiva]

I used a mercerized bulky cotton cabled yarn that I won on eBay a looong time ago. It was faded so I doubled it and the effect was lovely!! And I was able to save the yarn from the trash!!

Definately something addictive about the fat bottom bag. I've done 3 myself. I have to get batteries for my camera. My favorite bag was done with Lion Brand Suede yarn. That one came out really great.

[yarndiva]

ooh, yeah, i saw that bag and it looked soo yummy, too bad my stash is 98% cotton yarns/thread and still adding more cotton to it

[krzykajun]

Love the bag !!

Hi Everyone

I just bought the book-Stitch & Bitch Crochet, last night, it should be at our home, friday, yahoooooo:clap

Do you think that peaches & cream regular, or thick cotton, would work, to make at least one purse:c9 ???

[gavinsmom]

that is so pretty. I just bought handles today to make one or two myself Now I just have to figure out what yarn I want to use.

Hi Carol,

 

Yes, Cotton would work lovely for your purse, in fact the green bag in the book was worked in Lion Brand Cotton (same stuff, diff. brand). All my bags will probably be done in cotton because it's all I have right now

 

I hope to visit my friend either tonight or tomorrow night for help on the lining, so right now it's a BICO that I am working on for one of my girls.

 

HTH!!

[fuzziepink]

be a dear and give us a pattern ;D <3

[yarndiva]

Hi fuzziepink!

 

I got the pattern from the Stitch 'n Bitch: The Happy Hooker book that you can either check out from the library or from Amazon.com

 

Hope to help!

Thank you for your info., to tell you the truth, I wouldn't have any cotton yarn either, but I went online, to amazon.com, and peaches & cream, and about a month after it was delivered to me, we had gone to town, to walmart, & michaels, & they now have it at both places:clap

natcat: Murphy's law happens to everyone ALL the time At least when you need to make more FBB's, you don't have to wait for it to be delivered to you!! You can go in the middle of the night (at least at Wal-Mart) to buy more

 

kat: The title of the book is "Stitch n Bitch: The Happy Hooker" that is usually available at Barnes & Noble, amazon.com (I got a hardback one for half the price that included shipping), and other fine bookstores. You can also request for one at your local library!!
