"Singing in the Rain" Basketweave Bag

The Etsy Hookers Team is about to start voting on the entries for their latest creative challenge.  The theme that was choosen was "Singing in the Rain".  It took me some time to think about what I wanted to make.  My first thought was a raindrop scarf with a cloud on one end and a rainbow on the other.  I decided to save that idea for later because spring is coming and I know that I don't want to wait almost a year to wear something that I buy. 

Which led me to come up with this cute little cosmetics bag.  It's a soft sky blue yarn made in a basketweave pattern that not only makes it pretty but gives structure and strength.  To brighten it up even more I added a zipper pull that is a fluffy white cloud with a rainbow.

  4. It's not lined but that's mainly because I'm not very good at actual sewing.
