I made this yarn bag using strips of batiks. The pattern is
a tutorial from Lorelai Jayne. It is the kind of bag you are supposed to wear on your forearm and if you want to you can walk and knit (or crochet) as it's on your arm. The top handle part of the bag is a bit too wide though if you prefer to grab and carry in your hand. This bag is a bit smaller than the other 2 yarn bags I made recently (the Llama print and the Selvage yarn bags). I used a different pattern for those other yarn bags and I like the other size and handle better. Still this yarn bag is nice and great looking in batik fabric, of course!

Beautiful batiks and very nice bag!!
ReplyDeleteThis bag is nice too, but I can see that the handle is a bit on the wide side. But hey we all have different likes so someone will snatch it right up! I think that I have that lining fabric also.
ReplyDeleteperfect size for a yarn bag, you need a size that will work for those small to medium size patterns you want to carry around. you made this one to be bright a cheerful what a great use of batik strips.
