 I completed my Larger Than Life Bag….almost.

I ended up crocheting only eight squares instead of twelve in Raffinesse (a raffia-like poly-vinyl yarn). I decided that an eight-square bag was large enough! I crocheted a bottom portion, joined the pieces and fit the piece over an existing pink tote that I had hangin’ around.

Now, all I have to do is tack the top of the crocheted covering to the pink tote. I think I will use plastic fishing filament with a very sharp upholstery sewing needle to accomplish this. 
I  have 8 more squares crocheted in cotton that I’m almost finished with.

For this bag, I’m crocheting a lining using Red Heart sturdy acrylic yarn….more to come.

    The bag is very chic in the smaller size

    very cute! I was thinking about doing a smaller one too, so I can use it every day. I love the little flower in the middle!! Great job!
