Fringed Flashback

I thought I would share

a bag pattern 

that I am having fun with

I had a request for this fringed bag

and when I first saw it

I was a little intimidated

 by the leather strap 

and setting rivets

But it was really easy!

I must say Im hooked on crocheting

these cute fringed bags

and its fun picking out

embellishments for the flap

I made the first one 

and one of the girls I work with 

fell in love with it

and bought it instantly!

After making these I decided to 

try a different color and handle type

The pre-made leather strap 

comes only in one size

and is not long enough

to wear as a cross body bag

So I made my own strap

from a faux leather fabric

I found at Hobby Lobby

The strap is adjustable so you can

wear over your shoulder or cross body

I liked making these so much 

I started looking around on Ravelry

and found this square

to make a smaller bag

for my granddaughter

I found a pre-made bag at Hobby Lobby

and made the square into a

rectangle to fit the bag

No sewing up the lining!!!

I have another larger bag 

from this square in the works

But first I need to finish

Christmas presents!

If you would like to make your

own fringed bag the pattern is here

Thanks for stopping by!!

Its been a while…..

I'm sorry I have been 

away for so long

I just found the need 

to step away for a while

But I'm back!

I have been crocheting away 

(amongst other creative endeavors)

This is a current project 

that I made as part of

my Halloween costume

We dress up at work 

Its been a looooong time

since I have used #10 thread and

a 1.00mm hook

This was very challenging

and it took me a few tries but

I was determined to make this!

These old eyes aren't what they

used to be

But once I got past the BLACK

thread it was pretty easy

I cant wait to wear it

with my whole get up!!

Anyone going to a 

Dia de Los Muertas celebration??

We have one here each year 

at Mission San Luis Rey

and its pretty amazing!

Thanks for having a look
