The Winner

What a week has stood out! Thank you so much  my dears for participating and your help!! It was really not easy decision to pick up just one name from list of such lovely and neat ideas!!

During the week I tried on each of your proposed ideas and almost all of them fitted perfectly. And just yesterday, I narrowed down to the “Catch the Breeze” and this name works perfectly for both, Turquoise and Lime bags 🤓⠀

🏆 So yes, Marie is the Winner!! My Congratulations Marie! You won $35 and Catch the Breeze pattern for free when it will be released. I’ll contact you shortly.⠀

🥁 Barbara Irving won Catch the Breeze pattern for description suggestion, part of which I may use, as well as Michiyo Harrigan for such cool “The Pretty Blue Going Green Tote” name. I think I’ll use it my feature designs.

🏆 🏆 🏆 And I have a surprise for you. Because everyone is the Winner, all participants won 75% OFF coupon to my Etsy and Ravelry stores. NO limits of using this coupon. But please NOTE: the offer expires September 29th, 2019 at 11:59 PST. I’ll email your coupon code shortly!

Lime Raffia Bag Details

 

Both, turquoise and lime bags bottoms are consist of 3 pieces: two crochet part and plastic insert in between.

It holds shape well, even with 3-5 bottles of water in the bag. But sure, for market bag it can be made with just one bottom-layer.

⁉️What would you prefer: one or 3 layers of bottom?

3 Reasons For Testing Patterns by Myself

3 reasons why I like to test my patterns by myself:

➀ Double check that nothing is missed

➁ One more time enjoy stitch diagrams 😊

➂ I almost always get a new design… well, now you know why my patterns pretty often have 2 or 3 design-options 😉

 

So, let me introduce another version of Raffia bag – Lime Cross Body & Shoulder bag 2 in 1.
