Howdy y’all!
I am new to Lettuce Craft and this is my first post, so please tell me if I’m doing something weird or incorrect. I’m still tryin to figure out how things work around here!
I freehanded these pouches as a gift for my mom using leftover cotton yarn and thrifted quilting cotton for the lining. I made the tassels with some DMC floss I had on hand.
They are heavier than I’d have liked them to be, but blame that on the yarn I chose. I may make another one with wool or acrylic instead and see if I like it better.

Welcome to the best place on the internet! These look great. I’m impressed by how well your thrifted liner fabric matches the yarn on the first pouch! I don’t know anything about crochet, but I like the stitch you chose. It looks good on the pouch.

Thank you so much! The crochet stitch is called the granny stitch, like a granny square but laid out in a line, if that makes sense. And yes, that blue-green fabric was perfect for that bag!! It’s too bad I didn’t have all my thread available so I could have hidden my very wonky stitching better. Yeesh.
As I’m exploring the site more, I am realizing how truly awesome this is! Wish I’d found it sooner!

Welcome to Lettuce Craft! These are beautiful and sooooo impressive. I can’t work without a parrern for anything sewn so freehanding is a super power in my book. The colors are perfect and I love the liners you chose.
