Crochet Your Own Bags and Purses From Vintage Patterns
I
t's easy to make your own unique designer bag or purse from vintage crochet patterns. Why vintage? Because there's more variety and better quality when you reach back into the 1930s through the 1950s for your crochet patterns. You get better patterns at a lower cost. Modern crochet patterns aren't as detailed, and are usually just reworks of the old patterns anyway.

Free Crochet Pattern for an Envelope Clutch Bag
A Best Seller
The best seller of all my vintage purse/bag patterns is a simple envelope clutch. It's a good pattern to start with, and produces a classic bag for every occasion. It's very popular with young girls as an evening bag or prom clutch.
Click here Envelope Clutch Bag to get the pattern.
All of my vintage crochet patterns can be found in instant delivery format, like the above pattern, at MainStreetMallsOnline.com.

Another Very Popular Basic Purse
This one could be done in a hundred different yarn color and texture combinations. Young and old love carrying this bag. It's fun to design and crochet. You can use this pattern over and over for gifts.
You'll get three patterns in one with this motif bag pattern: the drawstring bag pictured, a motif clutch, and an envelope bag.
Access all three patterns here: Motif Bags .
