CraftBlog: Update 007, Upgrades of 3 Previous Designs

Front Page of CraftBlog UpdatePost 007 by ChameleonStar

Hi, craft lovers!
This is my 7th update post on the studio.

I finished with the work on Imelda, Milda and Drew crochet zipper pouches/clutch bags (which were first introduced in Update #002), and also made a pair of fingerless gloves for myself, which I love and sometimes wear when working on the computer.
I'll share with you photos of my new gloves at the end of this post.

Drew Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

I used a lot of beads to finish Drew, and now it looks more happier-go-lucky than I first intended, but, hey! -- a happy look is just what is needed during dark times.

I design my projects so that the finished look would give out a cheerful, comforting and delighting feeling to light up the mood. And with Drew, personally, I think I've managed to do so. I love her joyful exterior and light colors; and especially bright yellow tassels~

It was a pleasure working with Drew, and I want to make other copies of her in different colors to see how it will play out with different color palettes.

Milda Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

I didn't do any additions to Milda, except for light lines I embroidered between ribbon flowers on the front.

Made a lining using satin fabric and now the demure little pouch is ready. She is a great addition to my other bigger projects, which makes her look like a little chick between big chickens~

Love her for her modest appearance and chirpy flowers.

Imelda Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

And finally Imelda.

These are flowers I made for the decoration.

I did a lining and added handles on both sides.

She looks adorable to me and very cozy and comfy. I love to store some of my yarn in her, because it gives her form and makes her more bulky as without the content she loses her silhouette.

Love her calm color palette and look forward to making more copies of her in different colors.

Now about a new side project.

New side project: gloves!

As I promised in the beginning of this post, I'm sharing photos of my new gloves I made.

I used YarnArt Jeans Crazy yarn for this project and really enjoy how it looks and sits on the hands. I chose to go with bigger and darker buttons for decoration because I wanted to have a more solid feeling to it. Enjoy wearing it and have a lovely feeling when looking at them~

That is it for now, folks!

Keep your mind sharp and have peaceful thoughts everyone!

Have a fantastic bag day!

CraftBlog: Update 009, 3 New Crochet Zipper Pouches

Hi, craft lovers! This is my 9th update post on the studio. All of the projects are doing great and there's been a lot of work done. I finished decorating some of my previous designs, started a couple new ones and did a lot of lining work for my previous projects. Today I want to share 3 new crochet projects in their finished look. Their names are Ariete, Luna and Léonie. All of them have quite a sweet and soft touch, and they were all inspired by warm spring thematics. Ariete Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag The design was inspired by the blooming of spring flowers and I wanted to add a bit of cool freshness to the whole picture. The clutch design was made in hope to bring some white floral elegance into everyday life. The body of the clutch is quite simple and most of the work was focused on decoration. I wanted to try out some 2-side colors ideas for some time now and am very happy about it coming alive like that~ I chose royal blue color for one side and the borders and crepe

CraftBlog: Update 006, 3 New Crochet Zipper Pouches

Hi, craft lovers! This is my 6th update post on the studio. Been busy building my DeviantArt account , but managed to finish three more projects. This time I did a lot of embroidery and, must say, really adored it~ Probably, gonna do more of that cute stuff in the future~ So, I finished three crochet zipper pouches I previously mentioned in Update Post #004 and started two new designs as well. One of two new works (that you can see in the end of the post) has a 2-side color motif to it and is inspired by the blooming of spring flowers. The second new design is my first 'true' clutch, and I really love the combination of two colors in it and the crochet stitch I chose for this project. Scroll to the end if you want to take a peek. Now let's take a look at my finalized projects for this update. Hailey Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag One of three zipper pouches has a lot of embroidery on it, which is something I'd been wanting to do for some time now. It has pastel color

CraftBlog: Update 002, 3 Crochet Zipper Pouches

Hi, craft lovers! This is my 2nd CraftBlog's update post. I made another three items. Just as I wanted during the previous week, I crocheted a zipper pouch from a milky woolen yarn, a small darker and very simple mini-pouch, and a dark red and bigger in size basket-like bag. Drew Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag The milky pouch also shares a 5-petal plain flower with colored center for a decoration, which I also did for the red-and-white pouch previous week . Only this time I used orange beads to decorate the center of the flowers, which played out completely new effect on the item. I called this design Drew; maybe because this particular set of colors really pulls me in and inspire to make more designs like this one. Drew's WIP photo Drew's WIP photo Milda Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag My second mini-pouch was very quick to do. Basically I used leftovers from two balls of old yarn I had for a while. Then I just made flowers from ribbons and sewed them onto the front pa
