I LOVE MY 'LUCY' BAG



It's not Louis Vuitton, Lulu Guiness, Prada, Gucci or even Mulberry

It's a humble hand-crochet bag...

MADE BY

ME!


I taught myself to crochet last summer
I started this bag you can read all about here


The actual bag was finished within weeks of me starting

But oh dear...
Everytime I went to sew on the handles and flowers I couldn't find the darning needle...


For months it's been on my mind to complete and guess what?
It's taken me all of 1 little hour all to myself
to complete it yesterday

YAY!

I LOVE my 'Lucy' Bag
It's great for storing all my crochet yarns...


And works in progress...


P.S.
Many thanks to my lovely blogging friends
Anne,& Vanessa who both really encouraged me along the way...
And of course Lucy of Attic 24
who has so generously shared her 'Lucy' bag pattern here

    I love your Lucy bag and am so glad you found that darning needle. If it's any consolation, I lose my needles all the time. Thanks for sharing the pattern. I learned to crochet when I visited Emily in January. I think I'll have to give this a go. Be well
    puss och kram xo

    Much nicer than GucciPradaMulberry! It`s made by YOU, Julie and therefore it`s BEAUTIFUL! Not bad for a `beginner` too. Loving the colours. My `Lucy Bag` is on my Ravelry page - I lined it with a cut-up pair of my niece`s jeans and kept the pocket in them for my mobile!

    Lots of Love xxx
