OMG! fabulously cute! Must…make….one (or several) 😀
Sweet, I just bought mine, can’t wait to get strated. It looks really, really easy to crochet. Thanks Rachel for including soo many pics!
This is now on my list of things to do…as soon as I finish a scarf for my boyfriend that I started months ago 😉
OMG i LOVE this bag!!!
Super cute bag! Are the handles crocheted as well or are they the handles you buy at a craft store?
Hi Jade, the handles are crocheted as well. But they can be replaced with the kind you buy at a craft store if you desire.
Got my pattern-Love this bag!! Could the body of the bag be crocheted bigger and the handles longer for a shoulder bag? If so -how would you do that?
Hi Pamela, there are instructions for making the handles longer within the pattern. The size of the bag is more tricky to change, but you can try and use a heavier weight yarn and a larger crochet hook.
This bag was so easy to crochet and SO cute too!!! But I was wondering how I can make a liner for it in the same shape as the purse?
Hey Kim, try and lay the finished bag as flat as possible and then trace it to make a template for your liner, then add an inch or so for the sewing.
Hi Rachel! I love this purse! I was hoping you could give me a suggestion on how to make the bottom sturdier as mine turned out a little bigger and looser than yours and doesnt hold its shape. I love your site and many thanks for all the cool free stuff–it’s been really fun:)
Hi Emily, the whole bag should be slouchy when you’re done, including the bottom. If you want your bottom to be stiffer, how about putting a piece of cardboard or a magazine inside the bag on the bottom. There are also some purse bottoms or organizers you can buy at stores (I’m not sure exactly what they’re called though).
