Crochet Star Bag (Sailor Moon style)

I've been going through my storage bins lately and came across some of my old Sailor Moon crochet hats. Seeing them again gave me the idea to make a star bag version. I thought the sailor style stripes would look really cute on a bag and I happened to have some matching fabric that was perfect for lining the inside.

Crochet With Me - Making a Mini Squid Amigurumi

These little plushies are one of my favorite ways to use up leftover scrap yarn. They do not take much yarn at all and I can easily switch up the tentacle colors depending on what I have on hand.

I absolutely love making these mini plushies. I have ended up with a huge bag full of them! One of my favorite things to do is surprise people by randomly adding one or two minis to their orders as a little extra treat.

I always wondered how long it actually takes me to make one, so I finally timed it. It took about 15 minutes.
