How to crochet a ruched purse

Projects: www.i-madethisforyou.blogspot.com Music "Brand New Colony" and "Sleeping in" by The Postal Service Instructions: Chain 77 Row 1: Single crochet in each chain Row 2: Half double crochet in top of each stitch from row 1 Row 3: Single crochet in top of each stitch from row 2 Repeat rows 2-3, alternating between rows of single crochets and rows of half double crochets until you have a yard of fabric. Fold in each side edge about 1-2 inches. Sew the edges to create a casing. Insert cord or rope (each rope is about 30") into each casing to create a handle. Fold the fabric in half, sew the edges (while avoiding the casing) Gather the fabric at the casings to create a ruched effect. Tie two strings together to create one handle. Do the same to the other two strings to make two handles. Blog: www.bumblingpanda.wordpress.com Follow me twitter.com
