Girl's purse, toddler purse, summer purse, crochet inspirations



As a child, I used to love carrying intricately designed tiny purses and bags. Some shapes were my favorites and I tried to make them with a mixture of crochet and fabrics. Let me know what you all think about it... 



Red clutch
I love the shape of this clutch extremely and enjoyed the pretty fabric. In my childhood my mother made me wear tons of red, I wish I had made this purse at that time.



Pink hearts little girl purse
A bit squarish from shape this purse would be ideal to carry a small notebook, phone, etc.

New Baby Summer Sandals

Hot hot hot summer sandals, slipper, shoes for your little ones ....!!!

As the temperatures soar high all around I came up with a new style of booties for the tiny tots.. Managing your baby during the first summer is a real challenge.To make things simpler I though why not add some simple, comfortable way to keep your baby cool and happy. My idea was to blend in crochet booties with the normal shoes to be able to give enough protection to your kid as well as keep those tiny tootsie sweat free and cool. So I made a base with crochet as the sole and sewed fabric on top.

My free baby sole pattern  is :

For newborn-

Chain 11
round 1:
3 sc in the chain before the last chain.
1sc in each of the next 8 chains
5 sc in the last chain
Along the opposite side of the chain continue with
1sc in each of the 8 chains
2 sc in the last chain.

round 2:
chain 2
2 hdc in next 3 scs.
1 hdc in each of the next 8 scs.
2 hdc in each of the 5 scs.
Along the opposite side of the chain continue with 
1 hdc in each of the 8 scs.
2 hdc in next 2 scs.

round 3:
chain 3
1 dc, 2 dc (3 times).
1 dc in each of the next 8 hdc.
1 dc, 2dc (5 times)
Along the opposite side of the chain continue with 
1 dc in each of the next 8 hdc.
1 dc, 2 dc (2 times).

round 4 (optional):
For a better finish, sc all around. 

Then sew the fabric of your choice to the sole in any of the following designs below.



Open toe baby slipper to keep the toes free and airy during those peek hot days.


Some stylish funky sandals for the baby girls. I used fabric trims.
