Now What To Do With This

So this is a before picture.
I cut the bottom off the skirt, to shorten it a little and I will use the cut piece to make a matching top.
We'll come back to this project once I've completed it.


I've also got to work on this thread I bought for $2.00 a cone.

3 Tier Drawsring Bag

This is another bag I made.
I was writing the pattern as I made it, but then I lost my place.
So I'll have to go back to it and start over.
The Drawstring is designed to be used for a back pack or over the shoulder strap.

Crochet a new look, with old T's.


I realised the fashion from last year was too short, or I had put on a bit of size. Probably the latter. I am also not partial to a bra, they are too restricting for my liking especially in the heat. I altered a few of my T's and here's what I got. I particulary like the white one as it is a new one I bought in 2006 for a song but never wore it, the black netting type of crochet I placed around it, ensures that I can go without a bra, it hugs in around my boobs and you cant see through it.
The others add length and hides a bit of the cleavage.

Crochet Carpet Bag

making crochet bags out of carpet yarn



And another.


Here's another bag I have made.
It's made from the box of carpet nylon I got.
Well that is what I am calling it.
The carpet nylon is very strong and this type is actually a little soft to feel.
I just made it up as I went along.
I've used old curtain rings for part of the handle.
There are no gaps in the crochet, there-fore nothing will fall out.
I must say that this is a very strong little bag and cute too.
