NEEDLEWORKMONDAY: UPCYCLING CHALLENGE
Hello needlecrafters,
This is my upcycle project this needleworkmonday.
When I went to Mahalo Japan Surplus Store two weeks ago to buy yarns, this cloth bag also caught my eye because of the unique handle.
So, I bought it, in my mind this was a nice upcycle project. Timely I have a purple cord in my stash. When I went home, I right away remove the cloth from the handle, and started crocheting the base of the bag.
I started with Chain 27(CH), Double crochet (DC) in 4th CH from hook, and in each CH across (25DC).
Row 2: Using C2C stitch(St), CH 2, 1DC in same space(sp), skip 2 st1 SC into first beginning CH and repeat process all around (this is working on the right side of work). End with SC into first CH 2, Ch 1.
Row 3: turn your work, Slip Stitch(Sl St) into first sp, CH 2, 1DC in same sp, 1SC into next sp, repeat process all around.
Row 4 until Row 12: just repeat Row 2 and Row 3.
Row 13: To even the scallop, CH 1(considered as SC), CH 1 in next sp, 1half double crochet( HDC) in the middle of two scallops, repeat across, end with Sl St, cut and weave ends.
Row 14: CH 3, 1Extended double crochet(EDC), CH 1, skip one St, repeat across. Then, same as the other side.
Attached the handle by Sl ST in each St into the handle frame.
Done!
I will add a Chain handle in this bag, when I go to the craft store and a flower perhaps. This was a rushed project with my busy schedule, thanks the main bag was finished.
Thanks for stopping by...
May you like my upcycled bag.

Well done - what a lovel bag. If you would have bought a handle specially for making a bag probably it would have been much more expensive ;)
Yes @muscara...that's why I bought it right away, I love the handles...

What a gorgeous bag! 😍 It was clever of you to use the handles from another bag to make your own! I love that purple cord you used, it’s very eye catching!
I must say, I love your version of the bag 100 X’s better! As @neumannsalva said in her post this week..

This turned out awesome, much better than the original. But I imagine it is hasd on the hands to crochet with this thick cord?
Thanks @neumannsalva...this is soft cord, just crochet little by a little not too fast, so the hands will not sore...it is Japan cord size small...the cord sizes available in our area is TINY( I used for the celebrity bag), SMALL( this is the one I used for this project upcycling), PETIT- bigger a little hard ...sore hands and next Large I haven't try this
