    ❤ great tutorial thank you so much! Just a little bit of a tip: I personally find that if you ONLY have "regular" yarn and can't really afford to purchase the more expensive ones like the corded, macrame and others with more density, you can use any durable strength materials from old clothes or even leather from an old hand bag or boots or jacket. Perhaps you have some old jeans... You can cut the materials either into long strands and crochet them into an oval base, or any shape for your desired bag. If you are using a thicker material like denim or leather simply cut the shape and using a small hole punch, puncture holes all the way around leaving small space between each hole about 1/8" as you'll work the yarn thru each one in a single crochet of 3 rows. This will secure a tight bottom... Ensuring that your bag is sturdy.*simple hack tip: If you don't have a hole punch handy, then use scissors, which any of us here do have and cut a tiny (very tiny) slit in placement for the same spots as the "holes" would go, leaving the same diameter between each of the 1/8" or so. And weave your yarn thru and do the same as above-mentioned to secure a sturdy bag🛍️ and that's just a little tip for some who might want to make a large project or multiple ones as gifts, etc. (Which is one of my current projects for the ladies in my Bible Study class) I'm so happy to have found this video as it gave me a great idea 💡 of what I needed to achieve basically the same thing without breaking the bank, AND the ability to use materials I already had that would otherwise be taking up space in my wardrobe... Giving them a new life as a fancy pantsy purse👜

    I just finished making this bag. I used 4 mm macrame cord and it was quite the workout. I took several breaks and spread it out over several days. It is beautiful but it is definitely very heavy in weight. Just wanted to give a heads up about these things.

      @billiejennings9127 try to keep your stitches on the looser side. If you make them too tight it’s definitely more difficult. Also it takes practice to keep your stitches loose so don’t get discouraged. Keep practicing.

  • @taylorrangel5755
    @taylorrangel5755 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I just made this bag but instead of cording I used the Mary Maxim Home yarn (3 cakes) it was very easy to work with and soft as butter so I got the bag done a lot faster without needing the break. It’s more of a T-shirt yarn so it’s a cord filled with poly fill to give it a plump cord structure that’s soft and squishy. I used hook one size smaller since the Home yarn is quite plush and stretchy and it gave a more solid unified weave with not gaps. Once each cake was just about done I switched colors at the same stitch as on the video. All in all I’m sure my dimensions are a little different (laying flat 16 inch horizontal 14 1/2 vertical) without the straps but this yarn made for a sturdy but soft bag with a good amount of stretch that looks fantastic. Weaving in the ends was a breeze and did not take long at all however I recommend taking your time since you can puncture the project yarn with a upholstery needle. Thank you for the easy tutorial! I’m going to make a bunch of these as Christmas gifts this year to stuff with goodies!

    @audreyburman3023 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I made a bag before I saw your tutorial. The pattern used Sugar and Cream Cotton yarn and doubled the yarn. It turned out really nice and was not too difficult to crochet with the cotton. The only change I would make in my bag would be to add stiffer handles. The pattern had you crochet your own handles which are not as stiff as I would like. Thank you for your tutorials.

    Just finished the body of this bag. I did the blue and half the white in one sitting and I paid for it in sore hands.🫤. I finished the rest over two days. I am waiting for my handles to come in so I can finish. This is a great bag. I think I may line it so I can also make a small pocket inside. Thank you so much for this pattern!

    By far the best bag (and tutorial) to be found. So easy and turned out great. I don't have a tapestry needle so I just pulled the threads through with a smaller hook and crisscrossed the handle hooks through the little holes since I couldn't push the hook through those tight stitches. Looks great! Thank you so much for the tutorial!!

      Hi,
      Did you work in the back loop single crochet? I followed the instructions but mine is not building the sides up like a purse looks like a braided rug. 🙈Frustrated I haven't received a response from my initial Inquiry and want to get this bag finished. I watched her tutorial multiple times and following it precisely. I am NOT working in the back loop, just regular single crochet. Thank you!

    I made this bag twice and, while it came out great both times, it’s not the same size as yours- mine is more oblong instead of being square. My gauge is correct and I’m using the same materials as you.

    I made this using the same size crochet hook you recommended along with the same macrame cord as you. I followed the pattern, and for some reason, it came out a full inch wider! Any ideas why? I don’t feel I was crocheting it too loose. I still love the way it came out, and am planning on making another.

      Oh no! Did you measure gauge to see if it matched? That could be the culprit even if you didn't feel like you were crocheting too loose :)

    Are you working in the back loop of the single crochet stitch to build the height? Thank you

    When adding a new color, is the offset showing in the back since you are working in the round? I don’t see a join in the pattern to offset what normally happens when working in the round? Do you have pictures of the back of the tote?

    Hi! Wonderful Tutorial! Do you think I could find this yarn at the craft store? Also are there different types of macrame yarn? And do you use this yarn only for purses or do you use them for anything you crochet? Thank you! I got interested in crochet but I'm still figuring out which yarn is the best. And since I'm a beginner do you have a yarn suggestion?

    I’m hoping this gets to you soon. I was reading your page on crocheting this bag and it said you get compensation from Amazon if we use your link but unfortunately I cannot find this link. Also, I would like to know the brand of macramé 3 mm you used, making your other items I found out if I use what you use and not something else, I get an item that looks like the video. Thanks so much for your anticipated response!
