Fat bottom bag

[cee]

I've been inspired by the CAL participants and made this for my sister's birthday.

 

I used Schachenmayr Punto (55 % cotton, 45 % acrylic) and a 5 mm hook. I crocheted more inc/dec and plain rounds to compensate for the thinner yarn.

 

I'm very proud of the lining:

 

 

And the brooch that I made to decorate the bag:
