My Own Tote

[lauravee]

I am pleased to say that I have made my first original piece. It's a tote bag with straight bamboo handles. I worked up the two front panels, then one long gusset to give it some depth. I single crocheted the pieces together. I also made my first attempt at lining a bag, I used a cute pink fabric with little bugs all over it. I am thinking of writing the pattern up, it was real easy to do. Let me know if anyone is interested. Enjoy the pics.

That is great! Those handles are inspired. Tres chic! It looks like a big time designer concieved it. High fashion until you get to that adorable lining. ;)

Great work! I LOVE the design, colors, and the lining is terrific. I want one! I will have to add that to my "On My Mind" List!

What yarn did you use? And
How do you keep the handles in place (from falling off)?
