DIY: designer's bag from recycled plastic yarn

I got inspired by this Dolce &Gabbana bag and made a similar bag myself. Here are some steps of the process:

Inspiration: Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily crochet bag

I love the shape of these handbags. And those with floral crochet designs are my favorite. Could I resist making something similar? Nope. And now i have it... almost a lookalike...  :-)

                                          "Jose brought up the blueprints for a new ranch house. I have this strange feeling that 

the blueprints and the knitting instructions got switched. I may be knitting a ranch house!"

(Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's)

I am so proud i can crochet anything.  :-)

Simon's cat stuffed toys

A naughty, hungry cat from a great cartoon series x 3. Cotton, glass beads, polyester fiber.

Spring Greetings. All is full of love

Crochet dog's toy

This crochet cat is fun: there are squeakers in its tail, legs and ears. And the filling is partly from a plastic bags which makes noise too. The toy has two layers, inner lay is from elastic fabric, so the stuffing can't be pulled out.

Cornflower bag

A blue bloom embroidery have always been in my wish list. It would probably took me ages to decorate a bag with a cross stitching. So here's my shortcut: a felt applique based on a needlepoint pattern. To learn cross stitching is still in my plans though.

This dress with a bell-skirt was inspired by one that was worn by Eva Mendes. The crochet pattern in this miniature version is similar to one that Dolce & Gabbana used in their collection.

Mini-version of a dress from resort collection. Soy silk lace thread, nylon fabric.

Petite runway: Inspired by Michael Kors

The dress from Michael Kors resort collection was described in a retail store as a "fabulous retro-inspired dress with flowery crochet trims, long bell sleeves and flared hem ... ".

It reminds me of 60-s and 70-s crochet fashion.

Daisy dress

This miniature dress has crochet floral applique on the front. There is no need for lining because of a cool combination of  lacy sheer and solid panels.

Petite runway: Inspired by Chanel

Crochet summer top

This Barbie's top is based on a crochet pattern that goes online as "cosmo". It became popular among lace makers after an appearance of a white crochet dress on a "Cosmopolitan" cover. I also was tempted to crochet a similar summer frock (which used to be my favorite). This airy design is perfect for summer outfits and it seems never to be out of date. You can see pineapple motifs in resort collections every year.  It was interesting to repeat something like it for a Barbie.

Petite runway: Inspired by Stella McCartney

This bohemian look for Barbie silkstone was inspired by Stella's McCartney crocheted Daisy dress. I love its asymmetric skirt with a train on the side. It reminds a lot of Edwardian Irish lace gowns. The daisy motif is popular in crochet so i had no trouble to find a similar pattern. It is handmade from cotton yarn (top lace) and nylon knit fabric (lining). The dress fits other fashion dolls.
