I took this class with Myra Wood and a two friends from work at Stitches United 2018. We had a blast. I finished the bag after the class, and messed around with the closure a number of times.
Materials:
1 hank of size 8 seed beads (approximately 1500 beads)
1 ball of size 10 crochet cotton
1 pair of size 1 US/2.25mm straight needles. Can use DPNs but need point protectors on one end.
Sharp scissors
Blunt tapestry needle
My finished bag.
The seed beads I used and the crochet thread

How to add seed beads from the hank WITHOUT having to add them one at a time!
Tie the hank string to the crochet thread and slide them on down!
I effing HATED these bamboo needles. I tossed them after the class.

Lex's, Mine and Corrine's bags are started!!!
I decided to get fancy and add hanging beads to the bottom. This was crazy but fun.
Switched to my size 0 square circular needle. Yes, the needle part is square. I love them.
The first finish. Waiting to sew it together.
The inside.
The bag is sewn shut and I've added a strap.
Close up of the first finish. I realized I had ended too soon and the flap didn't work well. So I frogged it.
A bigger flap with a single loop. Way less busy and stays shut better.
