CraftBlog Update 008, Upgrades of 3 Previous Designs

Hi, craft lovers!
This is my 8th update post on the studio.

I'm ready to show the updates on my older designs called Gisela, Angelika and Eloise. I made my first introduction to them in the Update #003 post. For now they have reached their almost final outlooks, however I do still plan to add some minor details into design later on.

And since at the moment I've finished with the work on Gisela, Angelika and Eloise crochet zipper pouches/clutch bags, now I can go back to working on my newest projects~

Gisela Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

Since I didn't want to make a lot of decoration of this design, like I usually do with other projects, I just sewed a zipper in and added a yellow lining for this work. 

She looks gorgeous with her crazy colors, and I definitely look forward to working with this yarn again as it feels amazing to the touch and looks astonishing with its melange palette~

It was a quick and joyful work and I'm proud of this project, as it really looks nice in any home interior.

Eloise Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

Just as I planned before, I made some additional stitches on the top of the project which made it a bit larger. I used milky color yarn for the top and did some rounding on the edges; that made it more softer.

With the same milky yarn I made a tassel and put it on the zipper. I think white color harmonized the overall design and now it looks cozy and homey as I wanted it to be in the first place~

Angelika Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

With Angelika I made the biggest amount of changes of all three designs I'm showing you today.

I added additional height to the top just as with Eloise, but with Angelika I used a prime gray color for that. I added some ruffles on the sides and changed the location of the beads on the bows.

The bright yellow plays out amazingly on the gray bag body and I really love the ruffles~ This design has a lot of texture because of the stitch I used and it gave the project an elegant sophisticated look, which I enjoy immensely.
