Advent Calendar for "Fashionistas 1.0" - Eight Cute Little Bags

bag collection / voucher bag / advent calendar / christmas calendar for "fashionistas" - a dream for big and small girls

This delightful bag collection consists of eight different models.

The individual bags offer enough space to hide small surprises for your loved ones - a special eye-catcher, not only at Christmas time for your home.

Of course, you can use the individual bags for many purposes:

• Advent calendar: if you work each model 3 times in different color combinations, you will receive 24 different bags,
• gift wrapping for small gifts or vouchers,
• accessoire for the doll's robe,
• wall decoration, e.g. for dried flowers
• an LED tea light also fits wonderfully into the white basket with flower,
• keychains, e.g. clutch (without chain) or backpack,
• bag pendants,
• decorations for the Christmas tree,
• and so on.

Four of the eight models are crocheted with the Doppelmasche. With this stitch it is possible to crochet in rounds without offset and it creates an optimal background for embroidery.
