When I first spotted this designer bag, I thought, I can make that myself. And so I did. What started as a playful challenge soon turned into a joyful process of experimenting, crocheting, steaming, shaping, and finally adding a personal message across the top.
Now I’m sharing it with you — as a free pattern and step-by-step video tutorials on YouTube. I created videos for each section, so you can follow along at your own pace.
