My first crochet bag.....(part 1)!!!

Do you remember the big big colourful granny square that I showed you here???

Well, this morning I collected it out from my bag of endless projects (!!!) and I pinned it on my bed, just to block it with the use of some starch...



After this process, I measured it : 59cmx59cm....!!! Is it the right size for an handbag? Yap!!! ;-D
So, yesterday morning I went outside to buy a pair of bamboo handles and, luckily, in one of my drawers I found an "old" little tablecloth (never used!), with the perfect print and thickness...


I was often distracted with some zooming of the granny square, so...





After cutting the tablecloth to the right size, I put it on the iron board to pin the corners and then iron/sew it...




When the ironing and sewing were completed, I obtained this fabric square...




So, I pinned this floral lining to my huge granny square...






Maybe, one day, it will be like this (more or less!)...


....Infact, I need a needle to complete the sewing of the bag....I have to go out to reach the haberdashery shop....I think I can wait till tomorrow morning....oops it's Sunday tomorrow!!!!! ;0D

I think I will add even some pockets inside the bag, like these ones...




Ohh, I really love this fabric, I really do!



In the meantime, all my 3 boys (my hubby joined us last Tuesday: yeah!!!) went out for a walk up to the hills and mostly to try their new shoes....eh!eh!eh!



See you soon, xxxx

P.S.: please come with me at the following party here, ok? Thank you so much!!
