Swapna wanted to know my views on lining bags….my views?…as long as someone else is doing it..GREAT!!!!
but catch lazy me lining a bag ..with my attention span and impatience with hand sewing i will certainly spoil the bag.
But a crocheted bag is not the most practical one to use without a lining….and I do want to show off my crocheted bags…so what do I do?
I call it lining a bag in one easy step..(or should i say two steps?)
How do I do it?…very very easy
step one
find an old beat up bag that you have discarded. This is the one I used
step two
this is the tricky part, you are going to line the crochet bag now…and here is how (hehehe and now I am a poet)
and you have ready to use inner partitions too
and you are done!
the best part is that i can slip off the crocheted bag for washing..i can also use the same “lining” on other crocheted bags. The downside is that if i crochet a bag with a different shape I will have to hunt out a different “lining”.
I love it! I have shied away from making a lot of crochet bags because I don’t want to mess with lining them – this is the perfect solution!
you are very innovative!!
nice work! keep it going!
came here from Swapna’s blog!
Thank you Deni and Josie..I guess what you call innovation can also be called laziness
Jaishree that was a wonderful idea and it looks really smart!
thank you! hope to see you join us and show off your crochet bags soon
In a really funny way, that is the most common-sense way I have ever seen someone line a bag.
Plus u can change yr bag ‘cover’ to suit yr outfit/mood without the bother of transferring the contents.
that is one advantage i had not thought about!..yes we do save the hassle of transferring the contents
