Crochet Bag

My sister BB crocheted this lovely bag for me, which I received at the end of last summer. I love it. For my use I decided it needed a little more form. A frame and lining, so this is what I did.

First I fell in love with this Japanese style crane brocade for the lining.

This is the bag flap lined.

This is the frame I made.

Lined the frame with a soft batting, stitched around the top.

Then lined that with the brocade lining, sewing on an inner pocket.

I'm please with the finished bag, and think I did my sister's lovely crochet bag justice.
