Stripey Cotton Bag




Hail to the stashbuster projects! I bought this yarn last year with the intention of making a bag similar to this after I saw a cool picture in a Kohl's ad. So I ripped it out and saved it and last week I decided the time had come to finally make it. I just improvised because I didn't have a pattern, but all in all I'm pleased with how it turned out. I glued a piece of cardboard into the bottom to give it a place to sit, and then I made a lining for it and sewed a snap onto it. Voila! My summer purse!
