She Sells SeaShells

Ahh so excited to bring you guys this pattern. I happened to find the glorious jewels I used on the strap at a random Joann’s run and decided I needed them and needed something to match, and here we are! I take my Ouija bag to the pool when we go and the beach but wanted a second bag as well, because well you can’t have too many bags in my opinion.

It was fun to make and you can add little touches of customization to it. I stitched pearls on mine up some of the lines of the shell and then added a few other ones here and there.

I honestly can’t wait to see everyone’s amazing straps they pick and colors that’s decided on too. I love being able to make something that you can add your own flair to to make it yours!

As always there is a copy with a chart available on my Etsy and Ravelry shops. And I’ll be having a pattern re-release next week, I’m working through some of my older patterns and bringing them to the year 2022 and making them pretty again and just overall giving them a facelift :)

Enjoy! Use #shesellsseashells so I can see your finished projects.
