It's as you say, you can take a regular yarn pattern and usually convert it into a plarn project by just changing the gauge and stitches. Best wishes and happy green crafting to you!</em> Wanda,

I started looking for anything to crochet with that I didn't actually have to purchase and kind of fell into crocheting with grocery bags. Now it's become a competition with family and friends to see who can bring me the most interesting and/or colorful bags. My husband came across a whole box of unused plain, white plastic bags that were being thrown out at his office and brought them home to me. They are perfect for lining the hobo purse. I love this site and patterns. I love to find regular "yarn" patterns and then refer to your sight to change them into "plarn" patterns. Keep it green!!

You put the lining inside your purse and then I handstitched the lining in place by working on the inside. I stitched the lining in place by snagging a bit of the plastic to secure it in place. Just snag and stitch through some of the plastic on the inside so your stitching doesn't show on the outside of the bag. It doesn't pull and you don't see the stitching on the outside. Hope this helps. Cindy</em> @Kath:

Do you pierce the plastic with the needle or sort of weave around it? It looks lovely and secure, does it pull on the plastic at all? How do you mean the shell?

I hand stitch my lining inside the plastic bag “shell.” It works well as I can hide the stitches on the inside of the plastic and they don’t show on the outside of the purse.

I enjoyed seeing some very different types of bags for shopping. You and I seem to have come into this by way of a similar experience. I, too, started my journey as a result of a cancer diagnosis. Funny how life leads us sometimes. Good luck to you. What a unique focus for this blog! I enjoyed seeing some very different types of bags for shopping.
