“Stars and Stripes” Crochet Purse! FREE Pattern! Happy 4th of July!!!

Patterns - Purses

It is an absolutely gorgeous day at Lakeview Cottage.  And, I am starting to get ready for our 4th of July Celebration!  A little early, yes, but I am having a great time preparing!  And, in keeping with that, I have created a really cute, and very patriotic, purse for the summer and holiday!  It is perfect to carry to the parade and/or the cook-out!  It’s actually great for any summer activity!  It is perfect for both an adult or a child.  I had a really fun time creating it and I hope you will enjoy making and using it, too!  It works up very quickly and easily!!!

Enjoy!  And, Happy Birthday, USA!!!!
