Hooking My First Fat Bottom Bag; The Beginning!

 First part done; deciding on lining, before handle flaps added...

Decision on lining done - took all of half a minute.  Thank God my daughter likes zebra everything.  It would have taken much longer to figure out otherwise.

Adding the lining to this bag is going to be a bit more difficult than I first anticipated but it's not going to be impossible.
What do you think???

 Now I have to make the purse handles - see below for my choice in those, and add the handle flaps, then I'm done!



This Fat Bottom Bag can be found in the wonderful book, The Happy Hooker.   The book, my friend, is about crocheting and has a lot of humorous paragraphs that have big sexy implications that make one smile a lot while reading how to make a special stitch or instructions for a pattern, such as the one in the book I used for this bag. 
I've not found a bag quite like this one and am very fond of it's style and ease in making.  Our craft store is twenty miles away so I went to a local 98 cent Plus store and got some co axil cable and couplers to hook the ends together to make handles for my bag.  I got the material for lining at Walmart - a half a yard was plenty with some left over to make a cell phone pouch and even a zippered pouch for money or whatnot.


I am giving this one to my daughter -- she's the lover of all that is zebra.  heh, heh.


Here's the beginning, starting with adding lining, before the handle flaps are added...


Okay, well, crap.  My son took his digital camera to work with him today so I guess I will have to post photos later on.   (sigh - how dare he.  heh. heh.)
