Shell Bag Workshop- Crochet

3-Hour Workshop · May 9 · 12–3 PM · Cypress, TX Shell Bag Workshop Shell of a summer starts here 📅 May 9, 2025 🕐 12:00 – 3:00 PM 📍 Cypress, TX $75 · Materials Included There's something magical about making something you'd actually carry — a handmade bag that turns heads, starts conversations, and reminds you every single time you pick it up that you made this. In this hands-on 3-hour workshop, you'll crochet a stunning shell-shaped arm bag from start to finish using chunky T-shirt yarn. One skein. One bag. All summer. Held in person at Craftique Studio in Cypress, TX — a warm, welcoming space where makers from Katy, Spring, Jersey Village, Copperfield, and the greater Houston area come to create, connect, and grow their skills. Required Knowledge You should know how to chain, slip stitch, single crochet, and double crochet before attending. Experience with a magic ring is a plus but we'll do a quick review at the start of class. This is not a learn-to-crochet class — a foundation of basic stitches ensures everyone gets the most out of our time together. What You'll Learn One Shell. One Skein. All Summer. 1 The Shell Body Magic RingWorking in the RoundT-Shirt Yarn You'll get comfortable with the magic ring and working in the round — foundational techniques that unlock a whole world of crochet projects. We'll also cover how to handle T-shirt yarn, control your tension, and let the material work for you. 2 The Shell Rows Back Loop OnlyMixed Stitch HeightsShaping Back loop only is one of those techniques that transforms a flat piece into something sculptural and textured. Combined with mixed stitch heights for shaping, you'll see exactly how crochet can create dimension — and understand why it works, not just how to do it. 3 The Arm Strap Joining & AttachingClean Finishing The details that make a handmade piece look truly polished — joining, attaching, and finishing cleanly so nothing unravels, puckers, or looks "homemade" in the wrong way. Skills you'll use on every project after this one. 🌊 Color Tip T-shirt yarn comes in rich, saturated tones that make this bag pop. Think bold summer colors — coral, teal, cobalt, sunshine yellow — or keep it classic in natural cream or sand. Your yarn is included, so we'll pick your color together in class!
