New Design--Little Green Bag

Little green bag
Originally uploaded by homemadeoriginals

I had a gorgeous wool sweater, a turtleneck, that wasn't large enough for my "usual" sweater bag design, so I had to get creative. I came up with this little bag which is made with 3 layers of the felted wool, each one being a bit smaller than the previous one. The handle was made by rolling and hand sewing an approximately 2" wide strip I made by joining three sections cut from one of the arms. Hand stiching was added with rust colored tapestry yarn to match the button. This was incredibly fun to make.
