Crocheted Toiletry Bag

When traveling, I almost always forget to bring my toiletries with me and wind up having to buy my stash at the store.  Besides being expensive, I end up brining home the leftover toiletries so they don't go to waste.

The bags I have at home are either too big or too small to fit the basic necessities.  So in order to just have the right bag, I made one for myself!

I followed the basic pattern for the base of the bag and created my own pattern using the simple Shell stitch.

Boutique bag turned makeup kit

I created this bag for my sister who wanted to have a small purse that could fit in her bag but still cute enough to carry around.  It was originally just a brown boutique bag but I decided to put a crocheted rose embellishment to add a little color to the otherwise boring color.

You can crochet your own boutique bag and add more chains to the pattern to create a bigger bag.  This bag's dimensions are approximately 4 1/2 inches in length and 7 inches in height.
