Crochet Laptop Bag for 16 inch screen - New Design

This is my latest design in Laptop bags. Colour combination is dark gray / black / mustard. This is a very durable bag that is made to last. This bag used 3 meters of suiting fabric that is first cut into strips and then combined with strands of wool and is then crocheted with a chunky crochet hook. This is a carrying bag that is very strong.  

There are two straps on this bag; one is the strap to carry the bag on your shoulder and the second one is the hand strap, for you to carry the bag in your hand for convenience. The later one is also acting as a security lock on the bag, keeping the laptop safely in the bag.

There is something new that I learned in making this bag and that is: how to dress up the button in the fabric so that you can have a perfect fit in colour and pattern for your design. I got this little gadget from Spotlight and I absolutely love it!!! How lucky are we really to have all these things available to us... it is just so me to thank the inventor of this little thingy - I just so appreciate little things like that!

The bag is a perfect fit for a 16 inch laptop!

If it happens that you are a lady, you are a laptop owner and you would like to have a creative and cozy place for your laptop, this is the bag for you.  It can be made in any colour combination to match your clothes... imagination is the only limit here! I hope you like it... If you are browsing my blog and you like this bag or if you have any constructive feedback please let me know... I would love to hear your thoughts!

Let's now put it all together in a nice display...

Dark gray and mustard - new crocheted bag

Inspired by the dark gray and mustard colour that is currently in almost every magazine, I wanted to try make a bag that would reflect this beautiful colour combo. This bag is 28cm x 28 cm!

This time I experimented with different materials. For the main part, ie the body of the bag, I used 'shantung suiting tobaco' which is a little bit thinner than ponti. The 2 meters of fabric make one bag, but when working with this material the bag comes a little bit smaller. The gorgeous mustard colour comes in very fine linen which goes wonderful as contrast to the dark gray. Because it is a smaller bag, I decided to use one button only.

Light Summer Bag - Inspiration starter

I got nearly 6 meters of this light gray fabric from a wonderful artist Trish Bygott on my recent visit to her very inspirational boutique in Fremantle. I thought I might use it to make a light summer bag. Today I spent time preparing this fabric for my crochet / knit  bag project (time will tell which one will it be). It is such a wonderful natural colour that can be combined with stronger tones to add a bit of glamour. So, as I was cutting this fabric, colour combinations were storming through my mind and then I remembered that I used to have a bright  green,  satin colour skirt that I can't fit into anymore that might just work the wonders with this light gray.

Still brainstorming, but thinking a light summer bag... maybe?
