Advent Calendar for “Fashionistas 2.0” - Eight enchanting bag models

bag collection / voucher bag / advent calendar / christmas calendar for “fashionistas” - a dream for big and small girls

This delightful bag collection consists of eight different models.

The individual bags offer enough space to hide small surprises for loved ones, e.g. for sweets, jewelry, beautiful stones, vouchers, cash gifts, cosmetics, small perfume bottles, small toys, figurines, etc.

In addition to the eight bag models, you will receive the pattern for the mice with bobble hat and scarf, which are a delightful addition to the bags.

I’ve also designed a numbering for use as an advent calendar - you get three different color designs as a printable PDF file (see pictures).

Of course, you can use the individual bags for many purposes:

• Advent calendar: if you work each model 3 times in different color combinations, you will receive 24 different bags,
• gift wrapping for small gifts or vouchers,
• accessoire for the doll’s robe,
• wall decoration, e.g. for dried flowers
• keychains, e.g. clutch (without chain) or backpack,
• bag pendants,
• decorations for the Christmas tree, and so on.

The patterns for the bags and mice are 52 pages long. Each bag is described in great detail with text and step photos - in addition to six bags, there are also crochet diagrams.
