Your purse is beautiful. I've been eyeing this pattern for a while. I'm trying to eat up some of my stash, can you tell me what weight this yarn is and what substitutes might be.

[rshseaeagle]

It is is #3 light weight yarn. I know Ms. Suzy Kelly used Lustersheen for her bag. I don't do alot of yarn crocheting and my knowledge of the yarns out there is very limited but the Spa yarn is a very soft yarn with a bit of a shine to it. The spa yarn splits very easily so I had to be very careful when I worked with it.

Hope this helps,

Toni

I just came across this pattern for the first time two days ago, and liked it. Now, seeing yours, I love it! Well done! Now, I must learn how to line my bags, and I have no sewing skills, so if you have any pointers, please pass them along. Patty

Patty, if you check out post #15 on this thread - about the 3rd paragraph - she explains how she lined it.....

 

My purse is waiting to be sewn together and lined. I think I am going to do a sc around it to assemble it. I am no good at sewing pieces together.

[rshseaeagle]

Suzy,

I didn't sew mine together, nor did do the reverse single crochet around the edges. I tried the rsc but did not really like the way it looked.

 

I lined the pieces up, pinned them together and then did the sc around the edges.

 

My MIL loves this purse and carries it everywhere we go. It has held together very well and the sc looked just fine.

 

Keep me posted how yours goes.

 

LOL

I love your bag.

 

can someone help me with identifying what type of british yarn I could use. It's it 4ply/sock or DK/sports or Worsted/Aran?

 

Help.

A lovely handbag. I would like to make one like it, but I am not sure whether my crocheting skills are good enough to follow that pattern. You did very well and it looks very smart.

[Tok]

You did a great job! and the color you chose is so adorable. This has been in my waiting list for quite some time now. Just needed this kind of inspiration to get me started.

[regee]

simply gorgeous!

[sizzlingtriumph]
