Crochet bag

My Father used this material to cover a chair for my mom years ago. No one every really used the chair so the material was barely worn. But when mom redecorated after my fathers death, she asked me to re cover the same chair with a material that would match her new color scheme.

I have one that I made for myself that I use in the summer to carry "beachy type" things in and I never use it without getting a "great bag" comment. Of course mine is in purple.

I took the old material home, washed it, tore it into strips, and crocheted this bag for my mom, so that she has a nice useful bag out of something Daddy did for her.

I used a "Q" hook. Then the handles are braided. I sewed a liner with a pocket. I used a large belt buckle as a "throw over" closure. I have to admit I hate patterns and I usually just get a picture in my head and crochet untill I get it the way I want it.
