Thanks for another amazing roundup! I love bags!
Have you ever done (or seen) a roundup of quick gifts for teachers? Teacher appreciation week is coming up soon and I'd love some help with ideas of homemade gifts to make. Thanks!

I .loved all the crochet patterns of handbags but as I am new to the iPad and elderly where do I get the patterns about on the pad?
Tamara Kelly
Hello Thomasina! I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the iPad in particular, but you should be able to click on the name of the patterns you like to go to their pattern pages. From there you can make the pattern working directly from the screen, though I'm not 100% sure how the iPad handles downloads.

Hi Tamara and Thomasina! I use my ipad for all my patterns. In fact, I created the gorgeous morraccan market tote from your pattern right off my iPad. Just tap on the name of the pattern and it should go directly to the pattern. Then you can work from there or print it if you have an attached printer. The iPad handles downloads much the same as a pc so there should be no problems.

Thank you Robin! 😀 It's hard to give advice on tech you haven't used lolol.

Since it's Earth Day, I have to ask...does anyone know how to make the market bag that is made from plastic grocery bag strips? I saw it made at our local Joann store, but I really don't want to take a whole class just to figure out how to do it. Any thoughts? It would be great b/c it would be strong AND waterproof too!!
Ideas??? Thanks!!

Here's something funny & I may have answered my own question. Under the comments for the purple bag above, someone mentions "plarn" or plastic bag yarn. There's even a website tutorial in it! Who knew!! So, if you're interested, go there & check it out! Thanks!! 🙂
Tamara Kelly
😀 Yep, plarn! I have some other great ideas (including plarn!) for recycled yarn here too: https://www.mooglyblog.com/making-your-own-yarn-6-great-tutorials/

The link to number six doesn't lead to the bag.

There was a link on that page, but I've updated to a more direct link.
