Almond Blossom Bag
Hi there; I hope you are all well out there and up for some bag love. I gave a sneak peak of this project in my last post - did you guess what it was???
This is a special project using my Lily Pad Hexagons, but I thought it deserved to be a pattern in it's own right taking into consideration the construction and lining (...yes, sewing too!!!) Don't let this put you off however; as the hexagons are quite solid and the bag would not necessarily need to be lined... it just gives it more support.
I NOW HAVE A NEW WEBSITE, AND THIS PATTERN CAN BE FOUND AT -

One Almond Blossom Bag -
I don't know what Almond Blossom looks like by the way, I just named it for the colour!
I hope this has got your creative juices flowing as much as mine!!!
Last weekend I returned to Cumbria for a family party to celebrate my Dad's birthday; a great time was had by all, much wine was drunk and we tucked into some very good roast beef. Returning already on a high I was thrilled to find waiting for me 2 very kind award nominations; thank you Debi from http://hooksandyarns.blogspot.com/ and also http://littleorphanskein.wordpress.com/. I felt super special!!! I believe I need to spill a few beans about myself, and nominate other blogs, and I'm wrestling with these decisions at the moment, so this will have to keep for another post - who knew it would be so hard....
In the meantime, happy crocheting!

Hi, i have just popped over from "The flower bed" your bag is beautiful. I love the raised flowers you use in your work i have never seen those before. You make some delightful things and i love your colours you use. dee x
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! I would totally love a bag like that. I always wanted to make one, but I didn't really know how it would work out...and lining the thing scared me. Now that I see yours, I feel confident to make one for myself!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Love the colours too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI found you on the flower bed.
I was inspired by your african flower bag and made one.
I lined it, but I took a different approach to yours above. (If you wanted to see it, the post is here www.teacupsandtiskets.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/afri-flower-bag-unveiling.html)
Nice to meet you
cheers

ReplyDeleteI just finished this and am SO happy with it! I decided to skip using the handles and just made a long handle so that I could wear it more like a messenger bag (since I am always on the go with two little ones and need both hands free!) Thank you so much for sharing your pattern!! It's beautiful and very well written. I just learned how to crochet a couple months ago and was able to follow along.

The choice of materials and the handmade touch make it even more special. I love the idea of repurposing items, making something beautiful and functional out of what might have been discarded.
