I always LOVE the purses!! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI just made this using pink, brown and cream variegated yarn and I absolutely love it! It turned out so pretty. Now I just need to learn to how sew a lining for it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!! I have to try that!
ReplyDeleteThank you for having this on here I was looking for the pattern I had before because a friend made me one in my group but lost it Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! Thanks so much for sharing it. Here is the Ravelry link to a purple one I made for a friend:

I'm currently making one for myself!
@camcraftymom
ReplyDeleteI checked out the purse. It looks great! :) I have to admit, back when I made this pattern, I didn't consider how difficult it would be to line it. I still haven't made one with a round bottom that was lined! LOL
I guess I missed at the very beginning how many ch's you start with? It just goes right into 6 sc in loop. Can anyone help?

TY
@jantsmom: If you choose, you can ch 2 and do 6 sc in the 2nd ch from hook. I always use the adjustable loop, but it isn't really necessary. :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I love the look of this bag...going to try out the pattern tonight.
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering..what was the pattern you used for the purple flower in the picture at the bottom of the pattern?
Thanks!!!
Emma, I am sorry it took me this long to respond, but just in case you are still interested. The pattern is called "Mother's Day Flower" by Lionbrand: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/60020.html I liked that pattern so much I didn't bother making up my own. ;)
