Basic Necessities Purse

July 1, 2016 · Rhelena · 1 Comment

This crochet purse is the perfect size for your very basic needs or for young girls and children.

This cute purse is able to hold my phone, my wallet and change purse, my keys and my water bottle. Mind you, it gets stuffed to the top with everything, but it fits. And it beats having to carry a big purse at certain times.

The finished size only measures 9 inches wide by 6.5 inches high when laid flat. So it’s great for teens and children as well. Just adjust the length of the strap to suit the individual.

As for a lining and zipper, they are totally optional; however, they will both help to make this a more durable and secure purse for your items.
