TUTU skirt - my new challenge :-)

By Vendulka - February 09, 2013

Hi :-)
Ball season is now... and what mommy could do for her princess to be ready to pre-school ball? Yes - making princess Tutu costumes :-)). Our girls are still dancing and they are playing on the princess all time. The one would be Sleeping Beauty - because her most beloved color is yellow. The second one would be Snow white - because she really admires pink color - like her mommy :-)

chrochet purse

Are you ready for the ball?

By Vendulka - January 19, 2013

I am here after quiet a long time... I am sorry :-)

In some of my older post I told, that I have to make a small evening purse for my friend Katka. I choose wonderful material, but during crocheting I found that it is not so nice how I assumed, so I had to proceed according to plan B. Friend of my Katka will wearing wonderful brown dress embellished by Phoenix bird brooch so I decided to make a small purse to fit to Phoenix bird.

I like crocodile stitch and would like to try it. I was looking understandable tutorial of this stitch on a internet for a while and then found one great website with step by step tutorial of crocodile stitch. Oh, how happy was I :-) Really great ! I though that crocodile stitch is very difficult, but I was wrong, it is quiet easy and very funny. I used my favorite cotton yarn named Catania by Schachenmayr SMC.

Crocodile stitch evening purse, crochet purse, chrochet evening purse, crocodile stitch purse,

First I crocheted a base of the purse.

Then I sewn some beads and spangles ....

Then I made a lining.

And here is a result :-)

I really hope, that my friend will like this little evening purse.
