Everyday Boho Bag

Sylvia asked me to make up some cream colored bohemian style bags for summer, because she thought her friends would like them.  Sunday I came across a pattern that the designer (Alex and Co Handmade) was looking to have tested.  I volunteered to test it, and think it came out so cute! The original pattern calls for grommets and a chain strap, but I didn't have one on hand and don't like how chain straps cut into my shoulders when I'm wearing that kind of bag.  So, I came up with my own crochet strap instead.  

Sylvia's friend Isabella came over for lunch today, and agreed to model the bag for me.  So cute!!!

Pattern Test

Last week, I clicked on a photo for a hashtag I was following on Instagram that had beautiful crocheted items designed to look like macrame, and I realized it was a call for pattern testers.  I applied to test a pillow pattern and was surprised and thrilled to be chosen!

I thoroughly enjoyed working on this pattern by Erin Black of MidKnits!  It was so well designed and written, and I had a wonderful first testing experience!

I chose Antique White yarn, but knew a white pillow couldn't live in my house.  So, I made it for my friend Dawn.  She allowed me to take some photos of it in her bright cheery space!
