Crocodile Stitch Pocketbooks

These are the first two pocketbooks I crocheted. Both are done in the crocodile stitch, the coral colored one is a clutch and is lined. The purple one is a strapped pocketbook and not lined. Both of the buttons are just for looks and don’t close the bags. Here are a few things I discovered:
1) I don’t like doing the “straps”
2) I really dig the crocodile stitch
3) I REALLY need help with my sewing skills and pocketbook lining abilities!
Still had a blast with these two and can’t wait to start another. I bet I have 500 pocketbook patterns!
