These flowers were made out of organti material. Luckily for me I had these different colors in my materials basket and was able to create a really colorful bunch. I referred to a blog for the basic idea for this kind of flower and modified a little to make it easier since I had to make so many of them. For the vase I’ve used an old ice-cream box and covered it with newspaper rolls. Since the flowers were so colorful I thought it would be best to highlight them with a plain and simple base. And here it is, spring season at home!

Crochet Bag
Initially I’d thought of making one with fabric but later on had to move to crochet since my sewing machine was under repair. I’ve used the same stitch like the one for the mat, but this one went layer by layer vertically. Once I’d finished with the black crochet, I moved on to maroon for the pocket in the front and back. For the pattern on the pocket, I’ve made use of shiny anchor embroidery threads. When I’d completed the pocket I realized that my bag was a see-through bag! I had to then give a fabric lining to ensure that things don’t spill out of my bag through the gaps between the threads. Once the lining was completed, the only thing remaining was the handles. Since I’d run out of maroon wool, I had to use similar color fabric for the handles. 3 strips of stuffed fabric were plaited to form one handle. When the handles were securely fixed into place, I included 2 press-buttons next to the handles. And there, my eco-friendly handmade bag is done!
