Crochet Bag

While on my many mooches through the Internet looking for inspiration and ideas I found a beautiful bag that I just HAD to make!

I thought it would make a great every day bag, I loved everything, the colours, the delicateness of the crochet, yet it looks stable and like it could be chucked about a bit. (I am quite vicious with my bags) So off I went to purchase my yarn. I tried to get as close as I could to the actual one here, although it seems brown isn't easy to find at certain times of the year!
I made 12 Light brown squares of a similar design to the one above and 12 dark brown squares and then crocheted them together and then also around the top edge. Part way through I decided to make it more of a clutch bag (mostly because it turned out smaller than I had planned, I still cant judge sizes easily), so I purchased some vintage buttons and added them to the top and this is what I have!

Its a really cute clutch and I have had a lot of comments on it, I think that to make it last longer I am going to be lining it with the beautiful rose fabric that I purchased which is in the picture. That way it wont stretch and go misshapen. I think I may even make some more in different colours, and a larger one so I can use it for my original idea.
I hope this brings you some creative inspiration :)

Also I have just in the past couple of weeks joined Pinterest. Id love for you to share your inspirational ideas with me too :)
