This cute bag is the perfect accessory for a summery dress. A layer of buckram provides structure behind the round crochet panels. The seam ridges of the crocheted pieces are on the outside of the bag to give it a crisp edge. The pieces are quick to crochet and although the finishing takes a bit of time, it's worth it for the sturdy and beautiful finished product.
