Shabby Chic Crochet Purse

All of my friends seem to be getting more and more into shabby chic style....so I thought I'd try to create something of kind in crochet...

A few months ago I made my first crochet purse out of a pattern from Inside Crochet...and in that occasion I had ordered a package of silver frames...all of which, apart from one, were still sitting in my big box waiting to be used.... 

...I got the IDEA!!! A small crochet purse made out of my own pattern! I am quite proud of the final product! Ahahah... I guess it's because it was the first time I've been using the bobble stitch and I realised I really love the effect.



To learn how to work out the bobble stitch I used a very nice tutorial, and you can find the link HERE
It is a very filling stitch, with the only downside that it does take a lot of yarn....

I would be really curious to hear your thoughts about my purse...


I am bit lazy (probably still feeling the summer mood) so I don't have the pattern written down nicely yet, but once I do, I will share it with you!

Wishing you all a lovely evening

Tiny crochet purse

The issue 51 of Inside Crochet inspired me to a couple of new projects I am currently working on…one of them being this tiny purse, with the pattern by Sarah Coad!

I always thought it would have been very difficult to put it together, especially as I don't have a lot of experience in sawing and I was worried that when putting the crochet bit together to the frame I would have made it look a bit messy :p

Luckily, I have to say that it is way simpler than you could guess to realize, and you can work it out how make the stripes straight with respect to the frame.

What do you think of my color picks?

As for the silver frames, they can be easily found on Etsy…and, of course, I did order more than one ;) ….which means that I will soon put my mind at work and see how to personalize these tiny purses to make customized presents for my friends, with colors, maybe some beads or some appliqués…we'll see!

I hope you like it



Wishing you a lovely weekend
