Rose's Crossbody Beach Bag
Inspiration
I always look forward to spring and summer. I love it when it is warm outside and I can just come out of the house without worrying about whether I should carry a jacket or not. Most of all, I love the blooming flowers with all the different colors and the smell of the flowers. To replicate my love for this season, I decided to make these bags ready for my adventure. The vibrant colors just tell you that you are ready for the day. I decided to make them in two different sizes so that you can have an option of what size suits you better. The bags can also be used for shopping or for picnics.
Apart from sharing here, these bags are a part of the Summer Vibes Blog Hop hosted by Susanna of Fosbas Designs. She has put together more than 39 patterns from different talented designers.

I used Lily Cream n' Sugar 100% Cotton yarn to make the bag. I deiced to make one bag with solid colors and the other one with a touch of Ombre yarn. That way you can visually see and choose your style. The best thing with Lily Cream N Sugar yarn is that they have so many color options both in Solid and Ombre colors. The choice is yours!
The Rose’s Crossbody Beach Bag will be featured on July 21, 2021.
