for the Eco- Chic category

This bangle rag bag is crocheted from strips of fabric connected end to end. I hand sewed the interior lining and attached brass rings for the handles. I also added a pretty fabric yo-yo pin with a fabric covered button center. This entry combines art with recycling as I reclaimed the fabric by cutting it into strips then crocheting it into a beautiful and useful purse!
