Mosaic Crochet Purse - Full Tutorial

Here I show you how to make my Mosaic Purse pattern from start to finish. The best part about this pattern is the fact that we work the purse straight onto the zipper, sewing the first round straight on the zipper, and so we get the "finishing" over with right at the start! Here I show you how to make a mosaic purse using the Apache Tear pattern, but the pattern comes with a zig zag version too, and you can also just use any mosaic pattern you like to decorate your purse! I sure hope you guys have as much fun with these purses as I have, they make such a cute gift and are a great little project to have on the go!
Mosaic purse pattern is available in my Ravelry store:

This is so fabulous! I absolutely love finding tutorials that really stand out, and this one does. Thank you for sharing! I love doing this kind of crochet, even though I am a knitter and spinner mostly. But this kind of crochet pattern made me want to learn to crochet.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Wow ❤️ thank you so much. You just made my night 🥰✨😘

I have been glued to my I pad for over an hour watching this and I have to start making dinner now but I have to tell you: 1) I am definitely going to attempt this, 2) you are a brilliant teacher, 3) the pace and length are just fine, and 4) I realized there haven’t been any ads. Maybe there were at the very beginning but I don’t even think you had that. You crazy? Make some compensation! This was a lot of work.

Well I bought 6 different colours of this yarn but now that I've begun, I realize it's too thin 😭. I think I might try to double it, what a nightmare. I can't afford to buy more of this yarn as I'm looking at probably $50 off etsy.

Am I the only one who dances to the intro music?!?! 💃🕺 What a fantastic surprise!!! Seeing you just made my night!! 💕💕💕 What a coincidence... I just stocked up on zippers 😉 Unfortunately, my thrift store doesn't usually have zippers. I do already have this pattern. I've made one. My issue was that the zipper area seemed to be wider than the rest of my little purse. Kind of like it flared out at the zipper. Of course I still use it! But I'd like to figure out how to stop that from happening. I just love your energy and laugh. You seemed extra giggly this time. 😂🤣 I catch myself answering you or talking to you during your videos. I talk to myself quite often too 🤣😂 You are just too funny!! I can go on and on, but I'll stop here 😂🤣 Please keep adding videos... we all enjoy your company so much Tinna 💕💕

if you cannot find zippers at the thrift store... check out the clothing in the children's area (to get the smaller size) and see if there aren't some on the mark down section... also look for nice buttons on clothing... buttons get expensive for the nicer ones... One more thing... check out yard sales too... clothing is less expensive there...

[@His-Joule]

I have no idea or clue how you suddenly out of nowhere popped up on my thread but honestly I am beyond thrilled that you did. I am extremely “ visually oriented “ so your opening video captured me completely. I live in Alaska so the visuals here are incredible ( yep I get to see Denali ( most unfortunately know it as Mt McKinley ) for free all the time lol ) - but what caught me almost to the point of being breathless was seeing your Afghan/blanket that you wore. That for me personally is the most majestic and stunningly beautiful crochet work I have ever seen and in my 71 years on this earth I have seen many. I love your giggle and your references to your G’ma I absolutely love it. Your zipper clutch/ purse pattern is just too fabulous so needless to say I’m going to give it a shot. Oh and I love your teaching technique- you rock Girl!!! warm hugs from Anchorage Alaska ✨💫🤗🤗🤗🤗💙💗💕💜💫✨

I made a purse and a little bag for a Christmas gift. The purse took me three days to crochet in the zipper. The little bag I made then sewed the zipper in. Yesterday my mom said she saw where someone ran a stitch around the zipper and crocheted around that. I wonder if it was you she saw. I found you today and will be making a lot of bags now. I wanted to sell mine but never liked the closures I tried, now I don't have any excuses. THANK YOU for the help!!!!! I love your enthusiasm!!! I don't know many people who giggle as much as I do.

I love your videos!! I know this is an older video, and you probably won't see this, but I just got to the part where you said "how would I say 'taking care to do things properly' in English?" And I would say the perfect word for that is "meticulous." You would say "It's important to be meticulous with this." It's definitely a weird sounding word, but it's perfect to describe this. Thank you for being so meticulous in showing us these techniques. ❤

Hello, I know this video is 2 years ago, but these patterns never go out of style. I love zippered pouches and the Mosaic is adorable. I also love the fact that I am new to your channel, I really enjoyed listening to your teaching, as it coincides with several techniques that I have been taught as well. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations.

I love your videos Tinna! I must say that I am another that you have “hooked” on mosaic. ♥️

Hi Tina! I loved you and the class! Thank you! I'm Brazilian and I loved your beach with dark sand. Here in Brazil the sand is very white. It's great to hear their giggles of joy at making the perfect finish. I was also amazed by this technique. Thanks!

Obrigada ❤️

I was mystified by your opening video scene of you running around Iceland and was thinking did she go there just to film that opening scene?! 😂😂 But now I know! 😂 You are a life saver about the zipper secret! And yes I have many, many lost projects in the back of the shelf unfinished because of the zipper! Thank you so much!!!! 👍💋❤️

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Ahaha well I did go running all over Iceland with my husband filming just for this 😉😂 but granted we were already in the country per se 🤣🤣🤣 we just live down town so we’re usually not strolling around the glaciers 😂❤️😘

Oh wow! I love the pillow case idea too! You always have such great mosaic items, I love your work! Thank you for sharing this with us. Also, I just ruined a pair of leather boots, I am totally going to repurpose the zipper from them by making one of these now. Xoxo

Hi! I never get tired of listening to your voice and your laughter. Though I've purchased numerous of your patterns, and a kit/CAL, multiple years back, I've just finished my first Mosaic Project...a little cash purse. I used a purple for one color, and a multicolored pastel print for the other. Thank you for such a fun project!

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Yay!! Well done you! … there no stopping you now 😉😅🩷😘

Even if I didn't know how to crochet even if my nana hadn't taught me when I was five I would follow and watch for your commentary I absolutely adore the way you do your videos
