Drawstring Cotton Bag

[kat]

I found this pattern and decided to make it.

I just thought it was cute. Not sure what I will do with it. DH asked me why I made it, and I said just cause I wanted to. He says.. What are you going to do with it, and I said I don't know. He just shook his head and went off to watch tv. I will probably donate it, cause I really have no use for it.

It would make a great beach bag, or back pack type purse. I stuffed it with plastic bags to take pics. It is really simple and fun to make.

Here is a close up of the stitches:

I love projects you make "just because"! Yours is really cute!

[Tampa Doll]

Oh I love the colors. That is a really neat bag.

Sorry.. forgot to post that. I used Lion Brand Lion Cotton WW in the Seaspray, and Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton in Sage Brush. Idiot me didn't even realize one was kitchen cotton until I had finished it. The colors just worked well together, so I grabbed them up. I don't guess it matters though.

Good job Kat!

Very pretty! You could always put yarn in it.

I like the colors. The bag is nice.

People don't understand that part of the joy is the actual making of something. Tell your husband that I said that you're not the only one who makes stuff just to make it. I make things all the time that I know I won't want, but I want to see how's the pattern works etc. I think it's adorable, and donating it is such a great idea.

Are you sure you can't use it to tote your yarn around? It is really nice. I like those colors too!

[kat]

I guess it could be used for yarn, but it would need to be bigger around or you wouldn't get alot in it. I like to carry several skiens when I go off...

That is a great idea though.

Thanks for all the great replys. You all are so sweet!

That's really neat, Kat!

Great idea! Those colors look great together Kat!

[AshEgypt]

It definitely would make a great beach bag even with the colorway you chose!

I love it!!

This is really cute! You never know what you might decide to use it for; might keep it for one of those spare gifts you need on the spur of the moment!

[Terri/LadySorce]

HOW CUTE!!!! Love the colors you used. I was thinking of using Peaches&Creme yarn just so it wouldnt give too much and get out of shape too fast.

Great bag! Looks like it would be perfect for the beach.

[LoulouNi]

Oooh, that's really pretty, I love the little detail bits, and great beach colours!

Great Job ~ Most of the time when I make something, I have no clue what I will do with it, and my husband is always asking who's that for?

Mine always asks me that too and half the time I say I don't know yet.

Very cool bag Kat!

I've been crocheting drawstring bags like this too. I plan to put knitted and crocheted facecloths, pretty soaps and lotions, etc. into them and give them as gifts to my children's teachers.
