bandanna bag in newest Crochet Magazine

[musicmarth]

I am in love with the bag crocheted from bandanna strips in the newest issue of Crochet magazine. Does anyone know where I can get bulk bandannas?

[azkidmom]

I think Walmart has them, usually in the handbag section.

Now that the weather is warming up, maybe you could start finding them at yard sales. If you have an A C Moore close by maybe they would order you a package of the color you want. Can't wait to see the purse when it's done!

you might email them ask where you could get one. Here is there web site

not bulk, but Hobby Lobby carries a lot of bandana's...if you watch, they do tend to go on sale occasionally, to half-price maybe.

Thrift stores tend to carry lots of them too. Don't know why though.

why not just use fabric??

 

I really like the bag in the newest magazine and was thinking about doing it in tans/browns....

The purse sounds like a neat idea, but as usual, I haven't received my magazine yet!! :lol

that's a cute bag. but just letting you all know, crocheting with fabric strips is hard on the hands. for christmas this year, i made potholders with 1 1/2" thick strips of regular quilting cotton fabric and a P hook.

i have young hands with no issues and it was tough for me. the finished product was great though.

my advice, make a potholder or something small first before investing yourself in a whole bag. if you have arthritis, you may not be able to do this.

Try Oriental Trading Company for bandanas

[crochetluvknot]

don't laugh but being a dog groomer we get them at pet supply stores any color of the rainbow

I would love to see a picture of this bag! You all have made me very curious!

Yes, it might be harder to crochet with fabric strips as opposed to yarn. But as the saying goes, "Where there is a will, there is a way." Good luck and enjoy.

Oriental Trading company has them $7.99/dozen

[clevelandnaps]

Definitely Oriental Trading.

I was very curious also. If you go to their website, click on "features" and then "In this issue" they have pictures of everything in the latest issue.

That bag looks neat! All I need is another bag!

I'm going to have to find that magazine, though - it looks like it has a few things I'd like to have.

 

Thanks for the head's up!

OOPS! Sorry Kelly! I see you already gave Froggy a link to the picture! I agree with leaette! Crocheting with fabric is HARD on the hands........try to find very thin, flimsy bandanas! Perhaps USED ones as they are softer......I think just making practice swatches out of different fabric weights wouldn't be a bad idea! I really like the bag as well, so let us now how you are doing with it.........I would love to see some pictures.

I used to crochet with material many years ago when wearing a yoke collar over sweatshirts was popular. I would just buy material and rip it into strips then would sew all the strips together (which I hated doing I am sure now there has to be a better way). Tying it together would make to big of knots and would not lay right.
