New pics

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. ;)

sweater.

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!

Shelagh,
I love your bag. It looks much better than the one bag I have made so far
from a thrift store sweater. I have bought more sweaters at yard sales to
make into bags etc.One problem though is that I decide the sweaters are too
nice to cut up and then I give them away. Seeing your bag makes me realize
that nice sweaters make even nicer bags. I think another thrift store visit
is in order

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
