Instructions

If you enjoy toying with the Crocodile Stitch and don't mind a bit of sewing then I think you would enjoy making this project.

Difficulty:

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Casual


Materials

This Purse was done in Bernat "Fresh Lilac" with a Sea Foam green satin lining and Bamboo Handles.

What was your inspiration?

I really liked the scarf I did in "Fresh Lilac" and then I found these pretty handles and just had to try and make a Purse as well.

What are you most proud of?

This is my first Purse design.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I think this Purse would look good in any color, however, I think the Crocodile Stitch is really enhanced with a multi-colored yarn.

We had actually gone to 2 craft stores to look for purse handles. One store didn't carry them any longer and the other store had them but they were pretty pricey. So we went to Salvation Army to look for other stuff and VIOLA! I found the purse handles. TBTG!

Don't tell anyone but I found these beautiful purse handles at Salvation Army. Still in the package.... $1.00.

You never know what you will find, or where. It makes it even sweeter when you find treasure! I always stop in our local Salvation Army.
