Ever have one of those nights when your brain just won’t shut down? After thinking all day about wanting a new purse, I ended up designing a purse rather than sleeping. Eventually I gave up on sleep, got up and started crocheting and scratching notes as I went.
I wanted a nice sized purse with stitching that not only looked nice but was tight enough that it wouldn’t require a lining if I didn’t want to add one and I wanted a long strap to wear on my shoulder.
The end result is the Simply Twisted Shoulder Bag. I absolutely love it and think you will too!

A big thank you to Black Wing Creations, Sissy Anne’s Stamps & Stitches, Starr Creations and Liz Hasler for their time and feedback in testing this pattern for me.
