About the video: Getting to Know Crochet
Overview
“Our course project will be a bag. A bag is something we all carry with us every day. It may be a backpack, a laptop bag, a suitcase, or a simple phone pocket. You use a bag for practical reasons, but you can also choose a design that fits with your personal style. And this bag you can make yourself. First, I will show you several variations of crochet bags I have made during my career as a designer. Some of these bags have been touring the world with me, some of them I have at my studio waiting to get to be used. To give your crochet bag a long life, choose your yarn wisely. Later on, we'll talk more about yarns. Next, I will show what you'll need when designing a bag with your own pattern - starting with the size, the pattern repeats, where and how to sew a zipper, whether the bag needs a lining, how to attach handles, where to sew buttons and how to use a reinforcing cotton ribbon. There are many ways to create your bag, and I will give you some tips that will help you in your design process. I guess you have questions about the bags I have just shown you. They all have different patterns! Where did I find the inspiration for these bags?”
