Notes To Self

• Crochet Bags Pattern Search
• See crochet cords.
• See How To Add A Zippered Lining and tutorial video (this bag and this bag also have tutorials included in the patterns for how to line a crochet bag)
• no-sew crochet bag linings video tutorial
• See How To Felt A Bag and blogpost
• for long handbag strap (not crossbody), aim for ~33-34” based on grey purse strap (photo included)
• for crossbody straps, aim for ~41-42in. minimum and ~51-52in. maximum for a more comfortable fit (ie. resting lower on hip/butt), again based on the grey purse strap
• for reference = the Longchamp LE PLIAGE ORIGINAL L TOTE BAG Handle Height : 25 cm / 9.8 in (for larger tote bags) - my current “edc” tote slash well-loved “holy grail” bag
