Crochety Old Bag - A Tutorial For A Ruffly Crochet Handbag By Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog

I know that I've mentioned that I can't crochet to save my soul. I wish I could because I'd love to try making the Crochety Old Bag that Ros Coffey has on her RosMadeMe Blog blog showing.  How adorable is that? If you can crochet - have a delightful time making your crochet handbag.

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial:  Did you notice how many people have taken up crochet recently, even my guest, Susie blogged about it? So before the bandwagon drives off, here is a little something that I have created for you to make. And if you don't believe me take a look at Handmade Monday on Wendy's wonderful site and see who else has been bitten by the bug.

Ros's Bio:I live by the sea, in Essex, in Leigh-on-sea. I have been making things since I was a child, earliest memories were embroidering squares of binca matting, making felt egg cups and ripping back my knitting when my sister had picked up a dropped stitch... yep, it really did have to be all my own work! I am a dreadful hoarder, with stashes of wool and fabric hidden around my house, together with the projects that I have not yet finished. I am currently making cushions, quilted, appliqued, stencilled... actually just anything that I will enjoy crafting.

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial:  After I made the bias binding last week, I had about 18 - 20" of piped cord left over... not enough to pipe around a cushion... but too much just to bin, so what to do with it? I sat there twiddling it and started to make a flower shape, but really did I need another flower brooch... err no! And then it came to me, a handbag charm and for this you will need:

It All Started with Scarlet Ribbons - Double Ribbon Handbag Charm Free Tutorial By Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog

I love ribbon crafts and love floral crafts.  I especially like it when the two are combined.   So, of course, I was happy to see that Ros Coffey had a tutorial on her RosMadeMe Blog blog showing you how to make a double ribbon handbag charm for your purse.   I hope you enjoy Ros's tutorial.

It All Started with Scarlet Ribbons - Double Ribbon Handbag Charm

Copyright © 2012 - All Rights Reserved - Written by Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog.

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial:  When I was a little, the class above us sang Scarlet Ribbons and were the stars at a local music festival... they also got to spend the early evening at the Kursaal in Southend, which was to a 10 year old one of the most exciting places in the whole wide world... they had a wall of death in there and I admit to being a tad disappointed when I saw it for the first time there there was no pile of bodies at the bottom! At that time I wore my hair in plaits... this was after the incident when I had to have my hair cut when a hair roller could not be removed as my mother was going through her "daughter in ringlets" phase... I had mostly blue ribbons to go with my school uniform and I longed for scarlet velvet ribbons... So I think that this might be when my love of ribbons bedded in and now even though my hair is too short for plaits, I have a rather decent collection of ribbons... just in case.
