I’ve seen some nice purses crocheted before but wow, this one is really so hideous! And whatever is on the front just screams “homemade” too…what are those?
Compliments of Lionbrand free patterns of course! And appropriately named “Fun in the Sun Bag“…why fun in the sun? No idea! Does this look like a beach bag?
At least it doesn’t have Fun Fur on it like everything else Lionbrand likes to give you a free pattern for!

I saw something like it in raffia at Urban Outfitters.com last summer.

It’s weird they call it fun in the sun, because it dosen’t really look like anything you would take to the beach, it’s not in bright colors or anything, looks like a 4th of july deal.

This really does scream ‘homemade’. That or ‘I’ve been held hostage in a yarn factory for 8 years’.

LOL @ Olivia…good one!
December 31, 2005 at 3:31 pm
Another crime in the name of yarn. There oughta be a law…
Anyway, a very
Happy New Year!
to all.

When I first saw it, I thought it was supposed to be a sombrero. Ok, so maybe I’m just crazed. Geez, I haven’t even had my new year’s margarita yet, can you imagine what I’ll be seeing after I have it???
Happy New Year Everyone!!!

ETA: Just to clarify, sombrero-shaped purse!

This bag makes me cry!
I’ve owned/made tons of ugly/goofy bags over the years but even I wouldn’t be caught dead in a ditch with this one.
Not even if it was my dog-walking poop-bag.

It’s supposed to resemble a beach hat. Ugly yes.

My sisteen-year-old is really into purses. Ooh, I can’t WAIT to see the look of pure horror on her face when she gets a load of THIS!!!

I actually like it. They messed up when they decided to embellish it. It wouldn’t be so bad if it were left plain.
Who takes chenille to the beach anyway? And in such a dark color?
This is a case of a good idea being poorly executed. Shame on you, LionBrand. Shame!

It’s chenille? Oh won’t that be cute all full of sand.
Make it in cotton & take the spooky button things off & it might make a decent bag to carry beach crap around in. But what do I know? I hate the beach.

thats a purse it looks like a tampon holder that goes in your bathroom woow thats ugly i would never be cought dead or alive for that matter with this so called ” bag”
February 7, 2006 at 12:28 am
it looks like you should put it on your head and go to a nursing home or be in a Little House on the Prarie book. i saw the same thing at my local craft store when i was buying yarn.u-g-l-y!

Oh my , yard sale a reject!!!!
May 20, 2006 at 11:01 pm
wow…all i can say is wow… i feel bad for the person who made it, they must of had a horrible life.(it shows in the bag)
July 22, 2006 at 10:39 am
no fun fur yarn? … oops it must have escaped before they finished designing/making it … it is just screaming to have a round of fun fur worked around the top! … and as for anyone who sees it, with or without fun fur added, well they will be just screaming … and running away …

When I first looked at this I thought it was a bad applique parody of those goofy looking cowboy hats.
March 16, 2007 at 8:40 pm
I love it! I will get everybody’s attention. Compared to this purse I will look gorgeous.!
October 25, 2007 at 4:21 am
The perfect finishing touch would be a generous helping of hot pink fun fur fugliness. With tassels that look like a goat spit them up. And put it on the bottom put the purse. Whaddya know, I can design fug too!
