I completed my project bag yesterday. I copied a pattern from Lucy at Attic24 blog for a bag she made for a creative swap. I've been meaning to line it for a while so I did that yesterday, even put a little pocket in to stop my hook from getting lost.
Pip said to me a few weeks a go that she was after a hook case for her crochet hooks, so I've started to look at how to go about that. I've got some lovely colourful dotty cotton I bought in Street that might do for it, or some great patchwork fat quarters that I got in Cheddar.
So this afternoon I googled Crochet Hook Case and had a look for some inspiration. Should I crochet the outside of the case? Should the whole thing be crocheted? Would that take to long? So I gathered all my fabrics and had a look to see what was what. And I made a start....
I cut a piece of dotty cotton and a plain pink cotton and sandwiched a
piece of wadding between them. I then cut and hemmed a piece of dotty
cotton half the height but the same width and placed that on to top make
the pocket.
I then sewed all around the edges.
Bala decided to help supervise!
I measured 2cm x8 'runs' for hooks and one 3cm for a scissors, this left a larger pocket at the end.
I trimmed the edges with some yellow edging, added some buttons and a loop and it was finished!
It didn't take too long at all.
This is what the inside looks like. Hope she likes it. Tx
