My New Plan On An Old Tote Bag

 

I dug this bag out from my wardrobe and in the spirit of recycling and Earth Hour, I am thinking of refurbishing it. It is a crochet tote bag I made about 10 years ago. It used to be my weekend bag when I would pair it up with loose and comfortable clothing. It is not a perfect bag as there aren’t any compartments in it to segregate things out and no zip pocket to keep valuable things. I spent quite a lot of time to crochet it and I don’t want to give it away, so I kept it in my wardrobe and think that I would think of something to do about it one day.

 

Time goes by and this poor little bag still lying in the deepest corner of my dark cold wardrobe. Its life will change, after of years of freezing, I am going to heat it up with my new plan. I have made something for it and I am going to redecorate it and give it a fresh new look!!!
So stay tuned and check it out later, yeah!

    Joanne, I can’t wait to see what you will do with your handbag. It’s actually a lovely bag and the color combination is fabulous. I think a pretty flower would look beautiful on it.
    Aloha!

      Hi Pam,
      I am terribly sorry to tell you that I don’t have the pattern since I created it many years ago. May be one day I will trace back the pattern.
