1. repurposed scarves; 10 p each from a charity shop because they all had fag-holes in. I didn't care as I was ripping them into shreds anyway.

Oh Wow!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: mmmmm handbags
Dear MrsFlibble you have such wonderful ideas
I look at my stash of fabricky stuff, bargains, outgrown and leftovers, collected over 40 - nay some of them are my Mum's - so 60 plus years and lose the will

you've inspired me to have a rumage through my old scarves, and see what i can do...

Re: mmmmm handbags
You've inspired me to get a book on how to crochet. They are gorgeous bags. I love the first one. I might have to annoy you for tips once I get going!

Re: mmmmm handbags
I love the blue one and I have a challenge for you-what can you do with denim?
And do you do backpacks or shoulder bags with lots of pockets? I'll gladly pay you to do one for me, to heck with exchange rates, I want a Flibble original!
PM me if you're interested in the challenge-and tell me where to send lovely pounds sterling to pay for it.

1. tear the scarves into shreds, i found 1/2" width works really well with a 10mm hook.bryony wrote:incredible! and i bet anything similar would cost a fortune from a shop! How did you make the first one? Is it made out of two scarves?
