Handmade Sunflower Theme Crossbody Boho Custom Crochet Bag: Stylish Lined Purse for Everyday Use

This bag makes sustainability cute and fun! The bag and straps are made from 100% cotton medium weight yarn and is currently available in two beautiful colors: deep black for a stunning contrast and creamy beige for a soft, subtle contrast. More color options are coming soon.

I make the bag in several steps.

The first step is to make the sunflower motif. I use the popular Sunburst Motif in sunflower colors. The center rounds are a warm milk chocolate brown, followed by a rich, dark rust. The final round is a beautiful, variegated yarn that is shades of soft yellow. I love this design because last round of the sunflower motif is crocheted using the popcorn stitch, which is slightly raised, giving a 3D affect for a gorgeous bag. Bold colors in the sunflower bring spring and sunshine wherever you go! After the flower is made, I finish the front panel of the bag in the main color.

A back panel is made in the main color by creating a simple granny square pattern in the same size. I weave in all the ends and tidy up the two panels.

I hand sew the cotton fabric lining to each bag panel. I lay out my panels and measure the fabric to fit. The edge of the fabric is folded under and then I use a whip stitch to sew the fabric securely to the crocheted square. The fabric color and print design for your bag may vary from the pictures. 

I then create the strap as a long circular loop that becomes the sides and bottom of the bag at the same time. I do it this way so there are no seams or spots of weakness in the handle strap. No seams also mean there is nothing to rub or irritate your skin as the bag hangs from your shoulder.

When the strap and sides/base are the correct width, I hand sew the edges of the bagto secure the panels to the strap.

Last, I crochet the scallop top edge to finish the bag.

The extra-long strap can be worn as a crossbody satchel or as over-the-shoulder purse.

It is the perfect size for teens and tweens and adults too. It easily fits your phone, wallet and keys for all your daily adventures. It is cute, sassy and just right for daily use.

I am adding more bag colors soon, but if you want a specific color now, please message me to create your special bag!
