I made a royal blue fabric bag about 6 years ago, and I noticed that after 6 years of use, it’s getting a little worn. I decided to try a crochet bag, and this pattern was perfect. It’s a very simple idea and only cost me $8! Since it was so inexpensive, I was thinking about selling it and then making a few more with the money I get, but I have yet to decide. I took about a three week break from the project, so it took a total of maybe four to five days to complete if you work for about three to four hours a day. Note: I LOVE this bag! I have been using it for a few weeks now and it is so wonderful!
