Crochet Crocodile Stitch Bags

I've made several crocodile stitch bags.


This is a purple and yellow crocodile stitch tote, it is fully lined and has a zipper, this was the first crocodile stitch bag I had ever made, I also made a crochet handle, since then I'd made the rest with fabric handles and I have found that I prefer it over the crocheted one!


 
This bag was made for my grandma, It was a surprise gift for her since she was coming to visit me. She ended up loving the bag. I made 2 fabric covered buttons, to add a little touch of detail. I made the handles longer than I usually would since I knew that's how she preferred her purses. Its fully lined and has a functional zipper.

 
This bag was made for my instructor, as a gift to show how much I, along with other students appreciated her. I recycled one of my mom's old scrub tops and used it for the lining. I had a little issue with the eyelet fabric getting bunched near the zipper. I used some small hand stitches to try and fix it. Normally I would just take it apart but I was strapped for time as I was giving it to her the next day!
 
 This yellow and white bag was made just to try and complete to project. I had other ideas for it but didn't like how it was turning out, so I set it aside for a little while, once I had made those other bags I went back to this bag annd finished the bottom, found some fabric I liked, made the zippered lining, handles and fabric covered buttons and finished up the bag.I'm very pleased with it. Though I have yet to get this bag to sell, It is smaller than all the other bags.
This is a 4th of July bag, Red, White, and Blue star burst/firework pattern. I made 2 fabric buttons for the bag as some added detail. There are two handles, a zipper, and it's fully lined, so none of your goodies will fall out.
In this bag, I integrated pearl beads into the stitches, the lining will the blue. Still in progress!
