Hey, all the cool kids at the farmers market gotta have their reusable earth-conscious homemade handbag, right???
I made this bag based off this video and I embellished it with beads because that's fun!
The size of the bag is deceiving, as its mesh design gives it A LOT of s t r e t c h. You can stuff a week's worth of beef in here, I know for a fact!
Maybe you're not interested in crocheting. It is time consuming. But it's one of those rare skills that robots and machines can't quite exactly replicate, yet. And that's pretty special. This is an easy beginning project, though you will have to sink maybe 12 hours into it.
It’s the best feeling bringing something I made for myself into the wild. It looks great - excellent color choices and beading!
It looks great! What sort of fiber did you use? I think linen fiber is great for this sort of application - it's durable and feels nice, but it probably doesn't stretch as much as cotton, wool, or acrylic. On the other hand, wool has some natural anti-microbial qualities.
I used acrylic! it's the cheapest and easiest to attain. Would love to use wool for something like a sweater or vest, but when I've tried clothing, I have hated the results.
My wife has made two very nice cardigan sweaters out of wool and twice by accident she washed them and they shrank because they were wool. This was knitting and not crochet but it was a lot of work and she literally cried when we discovered the sweaters in the laundry.
If it was me that did this I would be dead.
It is a therapeutic job. Congrats.
Beautiful!
Nice, pow.
