CraftBlog Update 003, 3 Crochet Zipper Pouches

Hi, craft lovers!
This is my 3rd CraftBlog's update post.

There are 3 new crochet bag designs and 3 more to come.
I made 2 zipper pouches with alpine stitch and one greenish melange zipper pouch in a bigger size. I also made 3 simple lime pouches' bodies and 2 magenta ornaments for one of them.

Gisela Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

The first zipper pouch is in greenish melange colors and is about 10 inches (26 cm) long; it was quite amusing to create as bright colors of the yarn surely lightened up the mood.

I also did the borders and the ornament around the opening in yolk color, which added more earthiness and warmness to the overall outlook. I'm delighted with the design and the project in general.

This zipper pouch got its name, Gisela, because I was studying French while I was working on the project.

Eloise and Angelika Crochet Zipper Pouches/Clutch Bags

The second and third zipper pouches were made with alpine stitch and I incorporated bows into the decorations of both of them. I did some quick bead work to see how it's gonna play out, and I like how it added sophistication into the design.

In the future, I plan to add more stitches on the top with different colors to make it a bit higher.

Now about new projects.

New crochet projects

I finished three simple lime pouches' bodies hastily, because I wanted to try out new ideas for their designs.

I only made 2 magenta ornaments for one of the lime pouches and they look quite adorable. I love how magenta color plays along with lime. I think it's gonna look fantastic when I finish the whole project as I have lovely plans for incorporating floral embroidery into its surface.
