“The neck of the basic capelet becomes the gathered bottom of this bag. You could even choose to gather the bottom of the capelet and use the neck opening at the top. It has a crocheted handle that can be tucked inside the purse when you’d rather attach a leather strap. Instructions are also given for a crochet chain drawstring, but a pretty ribbon can look more formal. Dress up the bag as much as you want with beads, fringe or a tassel on the bottom.”
