A bit overwhelmed by the inquiries I’ve been getting about the Padayon Bag. Thank you so much!

So far the ones you are seeing are gifts for loved ones. This one here is for my niece.

Now trying to make some to sell, but I can only crochet so much in a day. Remember these are made one stitch at a time (being OC slows me down more), so will be offering them as limited edition pieces.

Will be posting availability and prices once ready. Please stay tuned ♡

Our signature Padayon Bag is made from pure cotton yarn that’s organic + locally sourced.

Why cotton yarn?
• natural + biodegradable
• hypoallergenic + safe for babies
• washable + can be exposed to heat

My Signature Bag.

Not sure how to tell the story but will try….

The past few years have been difficult. Coming to terms with an illness that has limited my ability to interact with the world… Everyday, I have to reimagine the ways that I can reach out, participate in life, and make my presence felt.

Crochet is my redirect, and ProjectPullthrough is my voice in stills + reels.

Here, I hope to carry on.

First batch of my freehand, one-off kiss clasp purses back in 2022. Handmade all the way. All gifted.

Our sweet in his natural habitat. He loves to watch me crochet. He stays close enough for a cuddle, but gives me space enough to do my craft.

Soba knows that yarns and hooks are off limits (that tangle is all me). This dog knows boundaries. He is one distraction that is most welcome. We all need one.

After two years of fiddling, finally landed on a signature crochet bag design that I am proud to call my own.

More to come.

Stitching the kiss clasp, is, for me, the least enjoyable part of making crochet purses. My death grip + OCness make for sore hands every time. I am also obsessed about making sure it’s sturdy, so I hand stitch more rounds than necessary. Then theres the issue of the holes being inflexible, so I always struggle with my fingers being pricked, and the thread getting tangled. Not. fun. at. all.

Just goes to show how much work goes into crochet. This is, at most, a 4x5 item, but it holds all my effort and intention. Every handmade piece is an entire universe of a person.
