View Full Version : My Own Tote

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.

OOh, I have some of those handles that have been gathering dust while I try to figure out what to do with them. Let me know when you have the pattern done!

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. ;)

Hey, I love the colours. Your work looks very neat, too. How do the handles stay in, or is that a silly question?:blush

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)?

I love it! Great job! And my favorite, sagey color! Add me to the list of crocheters interested in knowing how you kept the handles in? I like those much better than some of the other ones out there.
