How to Make a Stylish Bag with Sensy's Wool Ease Yarn and Black Canvas

Jan 31 2025

Creating a handmade bag is always a rewarding project, and today, we’re making a gorgeous, textured bag using Sensy’s Wool Ease yarn and a black canvas. This project utilizes the loop sliding technique to give the bag a unique texture, and the addition of a brown Sensy Touch yarn creates a beautiful edge for that perfect finishing touch. With a strip added for unification and a little bit of creativity, this bag comes together beautifully!

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create this fantastic bag.

Materials You’ll Need:

Sensy’s Wool Ease yarn (for texture)
Sensy’s Touch Yarn in brown (for edging)
Black canvas (for the main body of the bag)
Sensy’s Chain Material (for threading)
Needle and thread for sewing
Scissors
Crochet hook (for the loop sliding technique)

Step 1: Create the Textured Body with the Loop Sliding Technique

Start by using your Sensy Wool Ease yarn and crochet hook. The loop sliding technique is key for this bag’s unique texture, so take your time to get the pattern down. The technique involves sliding loops across the yarn to create a raised, elegant texture that will serve as the bulk of your bag's structure.

Tip: If you're new to this technique, practice on a small swatch first before starting the main piece.

Once you've completed the loop sliding technique for the entire body of the bag, you’ll have a nice textured piece ready for the next steps!

Step 2: Add the Brown Edging

Next, grab your brown Sensy Touch yarn. This will be used to add an elegant edging to the entire body of your bag. Simply crochet a border around the edges of the textured piece to give it a neat finish.

Tip: The contrast between the textured Wool Ease yarn and the smooth Sensy Touch yarn creates a beautiful visual balance.

Step 3: Adding the Unity Strip

Now, take a strip of canvas and add it to your bag’s body. This strip will help unify the entire project and give your bag extra structure. You can sew it onto the body of the bag at any point, but ideally, it should be added at the bottom or sides for maximum stability.

Tip: Fold the canvas strip carefully so the edges are neat and easy to sew into the bag.

Step 4: Fold the Bag and Sew the Edges

Once the strip is added, fold your bag to create its shape. Pin the edges into place and carefully sew along the sides to form the bag’s body. You’ll want to leave an opening at the top to add your chain material later.

Tip: Take your time when sewing to make sure the edges align perfectly and the bag holds its shape.

Step 5: Thread Through the Chain Material

After the bag is sewn together, it's time to add some flair! Thread the Sensy Chain Material through the top of the bag to create a stylish closure or handle. The chain adds a bit of elegance and can be adjusted to your desired length.

Tip: You can use the chain material for a handle or for decoration, depending on your preferred bag style.

Step 6: Final Touches

Once everything is sewn and threaded, take a step back and admire your work. The combination of the Wool Ease yarn’s texture, the brown edging, and the chain material will leave you with a bag that’s both functional and fashionable.

And there you have it! You’ve just created a stunning, handmade bag using Sensy’s Wool Ease yarn and black canvas. The loop sliding technique and the addition of brown Sensy Touch yarn and Sensy Chain Material truly elevate this project, making it one-of-a-kind.
