Purse and Tote

[itzhunic]

I sewed a canvas tote inside my bag and put snaps in to close.

It holds tons of crochet projects!

Awesome!! You did a fantastic job with the lining!!! How did you do it?! Nathalie

[itzhunic]

the lining in the purse I sewed by hand

the lining in the large tote, I kept measuring my bag until the canvas tote fit in it. I also cut the canvas straps and sewed the two together to make one long one, then added the snaps inside, where the two straps are and where the two straps were cut!

Cool!

Great bags. I love the idea of using a canvass tote for a lining. TFS.

Great idea! I have several canvas totes that need a little 'sprucing up'. Thanks for sharing your innovation.

Love your bags....Like your idea on lining the first one...good to know for someone like me who can't even sew a straight line on a sewing machine

[DebbyQ]

Your bags are great. I really like the idea of slipping a tote inside. A friend of mine crocheted a bag and slipped a cheap immitaiton leather bag inside. She cut the original straps and made crocheted belt to go with it. Great idea. No need to line the bag or to put closures and all the pockets/ compartments of a readymade bag are there to use. From out side you think what a lovely crochet bag.

Regards,

Thanks everyone for your comments! I love the idea of putting a cheap leather or any other purse that's cheap enough to do it with, inside the crocheted bag! How awesome is that! To have the compartments and zippered pockets in your crocheted bag! Okay, I'm off to go look at my many many many purses I have (would you believe 18 avon boxes full) and see if one of them can be used for this! I'm sure I'll find quite a few and have to make choice of which one. Gotta try this!!
