Handbags, Purses & Totes...

It's been awhile since I've been able to post something new.  Life has been hectic, and I haven't had the time to sew nor a place to sew since my recent, temporary move to my parents' home.  Lot's has been happening, but for now, my sewing is limited so I don't have a lot of new things to post.  However, I will post some pictures of the bags I made over the holiday season for a few of my customer orders.  All my patterns are packed away in a tub in storage right now, so unfortunately I am unable to share with you the patterns for the following bags that I have pictured...

Crocheted Mesh Bag w/Sewn Polka-Dot Liner

It's been awhile!  I have to admit I just don't crochet as much as I used to.  Since learning how to sew I find myself spending more time sewing than crocheting.  Well, I finally buckled down and worked on another crochet project.
Here I made a crocheted mesh bag...however, I couldn't just leave it plain & simple...I sewed a polka-dot liner for it and added button embellishments.  I found some really cute pink & purple polka-dot ribbon at Hobby Lobby, so I used the ribbon for ties at the top of the bag.
I used Lily Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn in "swimming pool" color.  The pattern I used for making this bag was found on the back of the Lily yarn label.
