Plastic Yarn Goose Dress

Prepare your bags. I use the loop to loop method
for making my "plastic" yarn.
(http://www.marloscrochetcorner.com/bag%20cutting%20instructions.html)
Cut your regular grocery bags about an inch wide, thick plastic bags,
cut about 1/2 inch, thinner bags, cut about 1 1/2 inches wide.

Using an "L" hook.......

I saw something the other day that I would like to find, and am not doing much
good finding it. A lady here found plastic yarn (twine) at her dollar store. She made a real pretty purse. I can not find on the web, nor does my dollar store carry it. If you run accross any, could you let me know? Thanks.
Tell Miss Goose That I Think She Is One Sharp Dressed Lady!
Very Pretty.

I like your pattern using plastic bags to make an outfit for a plastic goose what a neat idea..... I've been sewing outfits for cement goose's for the last 5 years and selling them at craft malls (I even crochet wigs for them LOL) always looking for new things to make for them ..... thanks for sharing

[CrazeeMoi]

Thanks Michelle. Crochet wigs? Oh that sounds neat, how do you do that?

This is really great! This may sound silly, but how does it look so colorful in your picture if all your using is the plastic bags?:think

[CrazeeMoi]

I use several diff plastic bags. Grocery store bags, newspaper bags, bags pads come in, bags from t paper, Kmart, Walmart, Meijer bags. If I hit Walmart just right, I get clear bags from the fabric dept. I have no shame, I will ask for bags too, I explain I crochet using them, and get extra bags that way.

Too cool and totally novel!

another good thing to use, is plastic table cloths, they are so cheap get them at the dollar store, and they are huge, come in many colors. As for the above question on plastic twin, go to the hardware store, or homedepot,

Great idea about the dollar store and the table cloths!
