You can use any medium-weight woven fabric to create the straps for your bag. For the sample seen in the photos, the designer chose Fabricville – ALEXA Chambray Stripes in light blue. As mentioned above, you can play around with different fabric colors and patterns to achieve a personalized look.
How Big Is the Finished Spencer Market Bag?
The bag measures 12” in height and 19” in width as long as you crochet it with the recommended set of supplies. Its size may also vary depending on your tension. Anyway, what you get is a spacious and minimalist shoulder bag that can fit a lot of things, whether it’s beach essentials or groceries.
