Woven Tote Bag

This is another project for the Australian Knitters swap on ravelry, made for the daughter of my swap partner.

In progress

Finished!

It's tabby woven on my Eolia Rigid Heddle Loom using worsted acrylic yarn, ladder yarn and some ribbon, and then lined.

Reversible Bag

This bag was initially made for the Australian Knitters swap on Ravelry, but I ended up deciding there were some areas (mainly the straps which were a (insert favourite Gordon Ramsey phrase here) to sew on) that weren't good enough to give away in a swap so that means I get to keep it. Muhahahaha! I ended up making a simpler bag for the swap (simpler, but better made), which shall be seen later, once it's been received.


I used this tutorial on craftster, which was very clear, it was mainly technical issues with fitting a reasonable amount of fabric into a small space around my sewing machine that was the problem.

Rounder Roomy Bag

I've been wanting to make a cute little patchwork bag for a little while, and this was a bit of a practice run.

The tutorial was from here, although now that I've made it, it's not quite the shape I had in mind for my patchwork bag, although I do like this one, so I'll probably keep an eye out for another pattern (and then do a trial run of that). Other than the outer fabric (which was $1 a meter) I had all the materials at home.

I also had a go at putting a zipper pocket inside the bag, which worked really well (Yay!).

Cute little wristlet

I made a little wristlet to go with my dress and jewelry. I figured that adding a bit of black to my bag and jewelry would mean I could wear black shoes.


I made it from a great U-handblog tute - the 'Rather Cheeky' Wristlet Clutch, which was really clear and easy to follow.
