Once when I was surfing the internet I found those cute purses, one knitted (left) and one crocheted (right).
With these I’m really contemplating making them…

Quick Bag from T-Shirt
Actually I prefer photo tutorials to video tutorials because I can look at photos as long and close as I want, but I find the instruction for a quick bag out of a t-shirt so great that I wanted to present it anyhow.
The way she’s making it it really takes only five minutes to make from the t-shirt a nice bag where the flap still can be embellished, e.g. with embroideries, but also with Freeform pieces crocheted extra for the flap or bead embroidered Paisleys or crochet squares or (paper) flowers or whatever you can think about ;-))
(By the way, I ‘nicked’ the photo from the entry T-Shirt Yarn ;-))

Pop Tabs
I presented a pop tab bracelet already, now I’ve found more things made from pop tabs: a top for the evening, another pop tab bracelet and a purse made from interwoven pop tabs and a tote made from crochet joined pop tabs.
I’m speechless ;-)

Shoe Purse
Ever made a purse from an old shoe? ;-)
But that’s not for people with smelly feet ;-))

Corrugated Leaves
Well, fall is coming.
The leaves look still beautiful outside, but soon they will be gone and then you can fall back on your own – if you like even evergreen – leaves.
There’s something to be said for that ;-))
By the way I imagine them also nice as pin.
Made e.g. with some stash yarn matching your purse.

Line a Bottom Bag
I really like knitted and crocheted bags but I never knew how to line them.
Now I found a tutorial on how to line a bag as on the photo.
Let’s see what I’m gonna make of it ;-))

Masa Bag
I found this bag when looking for Furoshiki and find it great!
It is very easy to make: crochet (Or knit. Or sew. Or weave ;-)) a big rectangle and then you only have to fold it appropriately, that’s all!

Fabric Scrap Scarf
Again a scarf from scraps ;-)
But this time it’s not only about scraps nor scarves: It’s about this technique, where you arrange fabric pieces and/or yarns on water-soluble sheet, where you make it ‘unslippable’ by spraying it with fabric glue where necessary, where you cover it with water-soluble sheet again and then sew more or less wildly in all directions to connect all elements with each other.
After rinsing it (thoroughly!) you get a more or less delicate fabric that you can use as scarf like on the photo, but you can also make a top top top or a one-of-a-kind vest one-of-a-kind vest poncho from.
There is even a book that shows how you can mix this technique with felting.
I really must do this once ;-)

Kelly Bag
Tammina brought the Kelly bag to my attention, and I find it very chic, too :)
I didn’t make it yet because I have an idea about but not the time to test ist.
Besides I don’t need a purse because I’m always using my knapsack.
But I like it so… ;-)

Woven Plastic Bag
I presented already the tote which is crocheted from plastic bags which were cut in stripes and the makeup bag made from fused plastic bags, this is yet another bag that uses nevertheless both techniques.
I find it great but won’t make it because here all plastic bags look the same and frankly, I find that it would look boring, then.
