Obsessed With Fat Bottom .... Bags

Just for the record, I am obsessed with Fat Bottom Bags - as well as how fat my bottom has been getting while sitting here crocheting the things.  ha.  Really though, it's true.  I can't put down my hook.  Here's a couple more bags I finished off recently....


I think this one is my favorite so far... The lining is darker than these photos show, looks beautiful with the yarn (Wool-ease) that I used.

And I added a pocket with a button closure for an iPod or cell phone. 


Next please......



I made this one  for my boyfriend's ex girlfriend.. yea, that's right.  She's staying with us for a while....  YES that is what I said.   Some cheesy lawyer swindled her out of her house and she had no where to go, no family, nothing.  Poor thing.  Anyway I thought this would cheer her up - it did...
Here's the inside:


Pattern can be found in the book called Stitch N Bitch Crochet; The Happy Hooker

Thank you! They ARE a lot of fun to make, once you've done one you won't be able to stop yourself from making a dozen more. I like having the ability to be creative with them, with lining, embellishments, colors, size, everything. I have three people who have commissioned me to make one for each of them. yea!

@Anonymous: You can find the pattern in the book Stitch N Bitch Crochet; The Happy Hooker. It's available on Amazon.com or in Joann's sometimes. You can't get it online, believe me, I tried for a long time, determined not to have to buy the book. But I did and I'm glad I did, it's full of very useful information for beginner and advanced crocheters alike. The book has charts and information about hooks, yarns, textures, stitches, stitch patterns, and is full of patterns too. Some of the patterns have errors in them but you can get help with any of them from the good people on Ravelry.com, if you don't already belong to Ravelry you ought to join up, it's a great community for knitters and crocheters! Have fun and good luck!

Hi these are gorgeous. And you're a kind soul to help that lady too.

Could you please tell me what size this bag is? I just made a FBB off a YouTube tutorial and although it's stunning it's teeny weeny lol.

I've ordered the stitch n bitch book and awaiting post from the USA. I'm in oz.

Thanks in advance. Xxx stace
