@KittenBowl1 4 года назад

When you attach handles, people normally count stitches from the two exact centers folded points, after deciding where you want to put the first handle. The first handle also needs to be adjusted so it’s exactly even based on the number of stitches you have at the top part of the purse. We don’t normally make woven purse with T-shirt yarn but we have specially designed yarns of several kinds designed for making purse that we can even steam to even out stitches. It looks like people in the West don’t seem to have access or manufactures don’t make basket or purse yarns in the West..

@CraftwithJess 4 года назад

I definitely did place the straps as center as possible on both sides, but the count depends on the count of the base of the purse. What country are you from? What are the names of the brands you use for making purses and baskets? I do wish we had more options for purse making. I live in Italy and here we have t-shirt yarn and natural fibers like jute and chunky cotton, but they are all heavy and not very sturdy. Tshirt yarn with low stretch is the most sturdy I've found here.

I am on my second bag using your pattern. However, I changed up the bottom a little to make it a bit sturdier. After the bottom rectangle is completed, instead of weaving in the cut end, I left the tail very long and weaved in and out of each stitch from one side to the other u til there were no longer any holes on the bottom and it was much firmer. I love it! Thanks for the wonderful pattern!

@imanhamimi5944 3 года назад

Great work. My question why you after finishing the base cut the yarn and started with another knot. Can we continue for the 13 rows or not

@CraftwithJess 2 года назад

The reason I do that is to make the base and sides seamless and I've found that by cutting and starting again the base sits up more straight.

@mamadahhhling6732 4 года назад

Loved this bag but I do like a sturdy flat solid bottom so I always use a piece of plastic canvas. If you like, you can cover it with a piece of material & hot glue the flaps down. Then face glued down inside ur bag & it doesn't make it really any heavier & easier to find stuff. 👜👛🛍👝

@aQuayQuay 4 года назад

Do find these bags to stretch out if there is no lining? How well does the t-shirt yarn hold up?

@CraftwithJess 4 года назад

No, I've never ever had mine stretch. It's all about how you make it and what kind of t-shirt yarn you use. If you use a stretchy t-shirt yarn then it will stretch, but mine is always no stretch. You can also crochet tighter to avoid stretching. I'd use a smaller hook or YO backwards to make your Sts tighter.

Hi, it is hard to tell from the video, what are the bag measurements, I want a fairly large bag so is it easy to adjust the size? Thanks Meg

@CraftwithJess 4 года назад

Hi Meg, thanks for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind for future videos. The exact measurements are listed in the pattern. It is easy to adjust the size. Everything depends on the size of the base so if you make the base with a longer initial chain it will be longer and if you do more rows for the base it will be wider, then from there when you do the sides of the bag it will coordinate with the base of course

@lbo6050 4 года назад

I absolutely love this! I unfortunately have t shirt yarn that is about 8x thinner than this and 17 chains is only about 4 or 5" long 😬 I assume I can add stitches? Do you know how many I should add? Also, thanks for the tutorial this is so cute! I've spent days looking for the right tutorial I wanted to try to recreate for a bag, I wasnt sure what I was even looking for but when I saw yours I thought "yep, that's the one"! Love it!

@CraftwithJess 4 года назад

Hi! Oh man that’s a tough question. Honestly I would try to reach the gauge by doubling up your T-shirt yarn (crocheting with 2/3 strands at a time) because if you increase the chain then the whole pattern changes. That’s what I’d try first.

@lindaleon1648 2 года назад

Love, Love this bag! If I wanted to make it with cord instead of yarn, what weight of cord would be comparable?

@CraftwithJess 2 года назад

Oh boy! Well the thickness of t-shirt yarn is used with a size 10 or 12mm hook...that might answer your question. Cord may be very very heavy though, maybe another fibrous type of "yarn" that is lighter is a good idea.

@CraftwithJess Год назад

Hi Kim! That is definitely a factor yes. I used a 10mm hook. Did you follow the gauge from the pattern? If your gauge is off from the beginning your purse will not be the same size. Based on your gauge you need to adjust your hook size. Hope this helps!

@Bkg0202 2 года назад

@CraftwithJess 4 года назад

hi Adrian, ya sometimes that happens with t-shirt yarn. The only way to be sure that doesn't happen is if you make your own and measure it while you make it, cutting the strips the same width. Otherwise if you find just 1 or 2 areas where the yarn is thin just stop and cut it out then pick up your yarn again where it's thick and keep crocheting.

I was curious about using t-shirt yarn but now after seeing this video and how bulky it is I'm a little nervous. Is it hard on your hands? Is it difficult to work with? This makes a very sharp looking bag! Beautiful.

@CraftwithJess 4 года назад

If you've never worked with it before, yes. It is very different and if you crochet really tight it will be hard on your hands. This particular stitch is also very tight in order to make the bag more sturdy...so you have to go slow. T-shirt yarn can be easy to work with if there is some stretch in it, if not it can be harder. I'm used to it, but I have hurt myself once when I tried to do Tunisian crochet with t-shirt yarn and I used a hook that was too small...

I'd rather use a thick cotton yarn in contrasting color or a twine matching the handles color to sew them in place 😉

@CraftwithJess 3 года назад

I just use a plastic tapestry needle, flatten out the t-shirt yarn by unraveling it and sew it through. For this bag I think that the stitch count wasn't an even number when I made this so I couldn't just count the top and pick the middle. Good idea about using a contrasting color yarn!

You can try it out and let me know how it works! In Italy where I live they don't have spray starch so I haven't tried that method. I would definitely say to try starch over sugar water any day :D Sugar water or glue water dipping for t-shirt yarn has been a bad experience for me and it turns yellow over time.
