The Cascading Fuchsias Market Bag is finally completely finished, and ready to be given away...
But that didn't stop me from pretending it was mine for a day.
The bag turned out very well, and I'm sure that the recipient will be pleased with it. It was a pretty fast project, and I would consider knitting it again. I used Cascade 220 for this project and size 11 needles for the bag body.
The flowers were fun to make and really set off the bag in my opinion.
Can you see the little sewn on seed beads?
As for the bag's interior, I hired a seamstress to line it according to the instructions on Nora Bellows website. She added two zippered pockets in contrasting colors as well as a snap closure. I think that the pockets and snap make it a more useable piece.
After the bag was lined, I sewed on the vines and flowers with a matching sewing thread.
I love how the vine wraps around the bag handle.
