NEEDLEWORKMONDAY : CROSSBODY BAG (WIP)
Greetings steemit friends, crafters and needleworkers!
It's Monday and its time for #NeedleWorkMonday once again!
It was suggested by ate @jurich60 that if im gonna crochet a bag, i should use tiny cord instead of yarns. Her reason is that tiny cord is more durable compared to yarn. I never doubted her because I know that it was based on her experience. So I bought tiny cord. But the stores I went to last year only have few colors available. What I had in my mind that time is that Im going to make a tulip design bag like my coin purse. Since I only have a few choices I just bought 3 colors namely: maroon for the flower, green for the leaves and navy blue for my main color.
My idea of making a cross body bag was not made possible after I bought the tiny cords. Work comes in. Then orders for my beaded wallet came rushing in. Im still making the wallets lately but it was just yesterday that I wanted to switch from beadwork to crochet. It was just yesterday that I am eager to make that crossbody bag Ive been planning to make since last year.
This is my first time and I just want to make it simple. Just a bag that I could put my stuff if I go to places nearby. Cellphone and wallet most importantly. At first, I planned to alternately put the tulips after how many rows of blue. And just leave the opening with no zipper. But seeing the tiny cord that is left after I made 10 consecutive rows of double crochet stitches in blue..it seems it wont make it until the end. I will run out of blue tiny cord in time. So I changed my mind. After 10 rows of blue, I switch colors to 10 rows of maroon. After that switch to 10 rows of green maybe. And i will incorporate the tulips in the overlap(or what you may call it) part as a covering or closure.
For now, my crossbody bag is still a work in progress. Maybe next Monday I will be able to finish it. And I will give all the details on this bag in my next post.
I need also your comments and suggestions to my first attempt of making a bag. I know how to crochet but I only knew the basic. Im hoping that needleworkers would help me.
Special thanks to @crosheille for initiating #needleworkmonday and to @marblely, @muscara, @shanibeer for the support.

nice colorway, how do you find tiny cord to crochet? Some Crochetist feedback, they do not like this material, hard to crochet. Thanks, my hands just okey using tinycord.

keri mo yan sis kasi marunong ka na ng mga paunang gawa hehe. ako gusto ko din yan matutunan
The colors you have chosen are bright and jewel-like. This is going to be a beautiful bag and I look forward to seeing it when finished. Your crochet is so even, mine always came out uneven and I finally gave up. Good job!
