I love this pretty blue and white knitted flounced bag! But I don’t like to knit. 😉 So I thought I’d use some fabric scraps and sew a nautical ruffle bag! I used white cotton canvas and white aida cloth. Here you’ll find the tutorial for a cute ruffled tote bag. My bag is a small bag, so it has just two ruffles. And instead of zigzagging the edges, I crocheted around the edges of the ruffles with blue cotton yarn. The bag is closed with a wood button and yarn button loop.

Victorian Crochet Wool Shawl (Sontag)
In the Victorian era, women usually wore a woven wool scarf or a knitted sontag, but sometimes they wore a crocheted scarf. I’ve used a rather scratchy grey wool blend yarn (mostly wool and just some other fibers). The yarn had blue and red wool dots which I’ve removed. This took the most time! 😉 Here are three CDV of women wearing similar scarfs: two colored scarf, light colored scarf, and dark scarf with flowers.
