Kinda fat bottom bag

[MandahGirly]

Here's my very first bag! It;s cute and I plan on taking it out tomorrow! I used Cotton Fleece yarn and lined it with some fabric I picked up at A.C Moore. The lining part is definitely not my favorite part. Hope you enjoy!

ohhh beautiful!!! I love the lining

[Sandy55]

Very nice, you did a great job. Is this your own pattern? I don't like to do lining either but I think it's worth the effort though.

Fantstic job on your bag. You did a great job on your lining! I think the lining is most crocheters least favorite part!

[monkeybabies]

OH I'm glad I'm not alone in that! I have a tote bag I made that is still sitting there in one long rectangle piece waiting to be lined, and also a crochet cable bag that I LOVE but isn't lined...though that's made of RH Super Saver and is stiff enough to probably be okay without lining, but I thinki pens and little things might fall through so I want to line it for the long-term. I even have handles here but NO BAGS b/c they aren't lined.

 

Do you know if there is a tutorial online on how to line bags? All I know is that I should do it BEFORE I close up the bag so it's easier...and also, is there an easy way to attach the handles? It looks like just going round and round but I'm sure it's not that easy.

 

THANKS!

For the FBB, there is a really nice tutorial with pics. I think this is the address: crochetkel.blogspot.com/2006/sew-you-wanna-line-your-fat-bottom-bag

Nice work. One can never have too many bags.

[Cranky Crocheter]

Love love love the size and shape! Great job!

[mamarose22]

I love it! Did you use a pattern or did you wing it? By the way, did you say you bought the fabric at ACMoore? The ACMoore in my neck of the woods, doesn't sell fabric. The only place for fabric here on Long Island, NY, is Joanne's or Walmart.

[MandahGirly]

Yes I did buy the fabric at A.C. Moore. It was kinda hidden away in the same aisle as the thread and sewing stuff. I'm in MA so I dunno if only certain A.C. Moore's does it

 

I found the pattern on-line....I can't remember where though, but I know it's called a mini-handled purse. I made it a little bigger by basically doubling the amount of rows

 

Also the handles are crocheted at the very beginning, instead of a foundation chain, you sc into the handles. I also lined it last because it was easier to just put it inside out. and then attach the liner

 

Thanks for all your comments!

Nice job

I love the color, it will go with anything.

OH THANKS for that! I'll def check it out.

[mamarose22]

Thanks. I found the pattern for the crocheted mini handled purse on Crochet Pattern Central, in case anyone else is interested.

Nice bag - I like the lining!

[bettycrackpot]

very nice!

[jasmom]

I like your bag. Great color choice too.

I've been thinking about making one and I may have to make one during one of my road trips.

Thanks for sharing!

[silkymist]

oooooh I like it! Color and lining are great!

I made this bag while I was on the bus to Cape Cod from Boston. I think I managed one side on the way there and basically finished it (minus lining) on the way home. It works up really quickly! It's a good gift cuz it's so fast to make especially since you don't have to worry about figuring out how to put the handles on!
