Tiny Drawstring Bag

[Icebox032]

Hi all. This is my first realy time crocheting. I started about three or four weeks ago and I just seem to be getting better and better at it. (Practice makes perfect) So here is my REAL first finished crocheted piece. It is a tiny drawstring bag (jewelry/coin bag) that I made. :manyheartI got the original pattern from a free pattern site. In the original pattern there was only one solid color used and I wanted to change it up a bit. I'm still learning on how to create beautiful and unique pieces of crochet work but I think I'm getting the hang it. (This is my second of two bags) I made one previously to this bag and the stitches were looser and I was alittle unsure of myself when making it. The first bag was brown with blue stripping. I had to do a little bit of research online for the drawstrings themselves because the original pattern called for 'twisted strings' which I had no idea how to make. So, I searched and searched and I just used a little improvision and some 'mocking up' and this is what I got for the strings. I'm very happy with the way this turned out and if anyone wants the pattern let me know. I will PM you it and I will also post it in the free patterns forum (From the orignal website that is).

 

:hookThe bag is about three inches high and about two and one half inches wide (or there abouts). This bag is really cool/cute and can be used for jewelry or change. I'm sure if mothers wanted to as well, they could make them for their children to play with.

I love little bags, those are sooo cute. Would also be perfect to put make up in and then have in your purse so it doesn't fly around.

I would love the pattern to put all my tiny random items in

 

I think you should try selling them, I know if I went to a craft fair, there would be a very good chance I'd pick one up.

 

You can always try an etsy shop just to try it out.

K then. ^-^ Any suggested sizes I should consider? Posting the orignal link right now

 

http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/projects/sept98_crochproject.html - orignal free pattern from them.

 

As for the drawstrings. I just did xx amount of chains for the lengths I wanted them to be and just fastened off the end. I started with just a regular slip-knot stitch? Cute idea to me would to string on two slightly larger beads on the ends then knot them, give them something different to look at. Maybe on my next bag. The orange I think was 20 something, the brown was 50? and the green one was 90 (very long!).

Will do AmyS! Thank you. One quick question. Two of the three bags are modified patterns. Just want to know if ( I did even sell them, they're too bad to sell! ahah) they still require contacting the orginal poster? Thanks for the information!
