Crochet: Tote Bag for Myself

Okay, I did mention in one of my previous posts that I'm going to post about crocheted bags I'm currently making. Well, I changed my mind, I'm going to post about the bags only when they are finished.

So, here's my new crocheted bag:

My Crochet Tote Bag

The color turned out to be blue in this picture, but the actual color is more close to this:

I found a crocheted sunflower that I like [Sunflower Hot Pad], but I couldn't seem to get the sunflower right because I wanted to crochet a smaller sunflower but with longer petals, and I ended up not to exactly follow the pattern, I twisted it and I got the sunflower as shown in the picture... Haha...

As for the leaves, I'm sure you can get tons of tutorial of them on the web. :)

I used Donna's cute [Bumble Bee Applique] to add to the cuteness of the decorations.

I used a fabric I once bought to line my cross-stitch bag. Yeah, I once loved cross-stitching, but not so much anymore. I'm planning to finish the bag, but it was abandoned for about a year, and I don't know if I have the mood to finish it... Let's hope that I will finish the bag so you guys can see it. :)

As for the lining, I don't know what type of fabric it is. It is kind of like a canvas but softer. I hand-sewn the lining and used the same yarn used for the upper part of the bag to sew the lining to the bag, because I want the bag to be sturdy enough and last for a long time.

The zipper is Daiso's long zipper with three heart-shaped sliders. I used one of three of it:

Alright, next bag project, backpack! Wonder what it will look like?  >v<

In my next post, I will write about my near-seven-years fandom, want to know more?

Stay tuned~
