Crochet Embellished Bag

Hello ,
I've got another F.O. to share with you lovelies!!!!
This one was a super quick makeover ,and I'm so pleased how it's turned out .....

Yesterday I found this shopping bag in a local charity shop.....



Nice turquoise colour (one of my favourites ) .Shame about the design on the front :0(

Never mind , I thought I would be able to do something in , say , patchwork to cover that. As it only cost .....




I thought it had to be worth a try.

I started getting inspiration by looking at patchwork bags on flickr .I found some lovely examples Here and here

When I was pondering the best way to attach fabric I realised the bag was reversible,and looked just as good inside out!!!

Oooooooooohhhhh maybe I could just add some crochet embellishment instead, something quick and colourful.

I headed back to Flickr and checked my favourites..........this is what I chose to make...



This is my interpretation of a flower made by Lucy at Attic 24.Here's her version .So colourful any very much her lovely style . There's no pattern as it was from her pre-bloging days ,so I just tried to copy from the photo.
My version ended up with 7 petals instead of 6. I'm very pleased with them though!!
I chose yarn in her colours too...........



Here's how it turned out..looking lovely in the garden......



And in my crochet chair...you can click on the pictures to make them bigger.....




Here's me modeling it..sorry about the quality of this pic ,but it's not easy to take a decent photo over your your shoulder with your camera upside down!!! At least you can see what size it is.....




It could do with lining to cover up the buses on the inside but I'm very pleased with it . Should make a great beach bag ......How long till my holidays!?!

I would be happy to share the pattern if anyone would like it ,and I'd love to here your comments.

Have a great weekend
