My freeform handbags are composed of small knit & crochet “scrumbles” which are individually joined. I then start work on the embellishments. This can mean knit/crochet flowers, corkscrews and edgings, & often the addition of beads, buttons or other baubles. Finally the bag is ready for the lining to be hand stitched into place & the handles to be attached. Each bag is individual in design & the end result of many hours work.
Original bag “Here Kitty, Kitty” has been sold. Similar handbags are available in my etsy shop

amigurimi? as in little cute crocheted animals? Nah, I’m a self taught crocheter, haven’t tried to follow a pattern yet. I don’t know if I’d have the patience…but they are soo cute
