Gold Crochet Wristlet

Finally I finished my other crochet purse after talking about it here. As you can see the flap of the purse has a lace-like pattern, and it adds a nice texture to the purse. It closes with a Vintage Orange Button from my private stash.

 As I originally planned, I didn't make a long shoulder strap. Instead I added a short handle and made it into a wristlet.

This wristlet can be used as en evening wristlet or an everyday wristlet. It's quite roomy and can hold many things, like your keys, phone and credit card.

As promised, I also added lining with matching fabric which I hand sewed to the purse. As I thought it helped in making the wristlet more durable. It also helps to keep your things inside the purse, so you don't have to worry about losing anything.

You can also carry it around as a clutch. It so versatile!!

Can Also Be Used As a Clutch

Like always, I used 100% cotton yarn and 100% cotton fabric so you can wash and dry the wristlet with no worries.

It is now for sale at my shop, as well as many other pouches and bags.

What do you think? Do you like the color?

Thanks for stopping by,

Done: Crochet Bag with Orange Stripes and Gold Chain

Orange Stripes Crochet Bag

A few days ago I finished another crochet bag. This one is smaller than the Vasarely bag I did awhile back. First, because of the colors. This bag is striped in orange and stone colored yarn. I chose those colors because I wanted to make a very happy and sunny kind of bag.

I wasn't sure on what kind of strap would be best for the bag (I always have this problem...). My original design involved crocheting a strap, but I wanted to add a little spark to it. That's why I
eventually decided to go with gold plated chain that complements the orange nicely. The chain is detachable.

Fully lined with 100% cotton fabric in matching colors

The bag is fully lined with a 100% cotton fabric in a nice pattern of sweet little animals in orange, green and brown.

I've also attached a magnetic clasp to keep the content secured. I searched the web for guidance on how to install a magnetic clasp and found some here and here, but since I needed to attach the clasp to a crochet bag I ended up here and used her genius idea to make crochet circles as a base for the clasp.

The bag is decorated with a pin of a flower made from three crochet circles in red, yellow and white and it adds a nice touch of color and breaks the orange a little without completely escaping out of the color scheme.
