Hi all
Remember the wool sweaters I bought at Value Village a couple of weeks ago? I've felted them all, and today I made a bag from one of them. If you're interested, please follow the links to my Yahoo album that shows the sweater before felting, and the bag made today. ;>)
Happy viewing.

The sweater felted nicely. I love the way that felting blends the colours together. Congrats on turning a so-so sweater into a great bag!

Cool! I love that the strap has the pattern too. Very cute!

Hee Shelagh love your idea of making straps from the sleeves ,, here are my New Strap ideas measure length wanted ,,,,, collect a variety of wool threads you like [the more the better ,,,,] cut up 4X longer than wanted length .... make a knit at one end and bind it to door knob or a hook ,,,, stand far enough to make it straight and roll till you can`t anymore . slide some heavy ring [ Scissors ear might do] to the middle and hold up so it can roll unto itself , make a knot at both ends , and throw into the washmachine with your towels ,,,,, you get a great strap , colorfull , soft on the shuolder and strong .... mirjam
