Felted Sweater Bag

I made this bag today...it used to be a womens Ralph Lauren Sweater. (I got it at DI, of course.) It has to be 100% Wool to work. You wash and dry it on HOT 3 times...then cut off the sleeves, and cut the neckline into a U shape. (It kinda looks like a tank top at this point.) Then you you turn it inside out and put the side seams together. Then sew the bottom hem together. Then fold the handles in half (wrong sides together) sew them up. All done! I made the flower from leftover pieces from the sleeves, and the sleeve of another sweater I felted to make another bag. Fun!

Gracie, modeling the bag for me. It's a little big for her...
