The actual checkered part I used a bit of this tutorial on yt: https://youtu.be/HwedHp2Fn2Q
The strip was something I freestyled.
That's really cool! How did you attach the zip? Is there any kind of lining inside or is the crochet fabric sturdy enough on its own?
Sorry for all the questions, crocheting a bag is on my bucket list 😄
ask as much as you want :))
I was considering adding a lining but got lazy in the end and left it as it is. I attached the zip by sewing it by hand, here’s a video that I used since it was my first time dealing with zips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSRZShmwHAc (it’s long since no parts are skipped but you don’t need to watch the full thing)
Thank you! I've bodged zips into enough sewing projects at this point that it should be easily doable, but having a video to guide me will definitely give a better result than my usual experimental approach...
