Upcycled purse

Round 2 of Crafting with the Stars Wallflowers and Crafting from the Sidelines:



So because I was cooking all weekend and only had today to do the upcycled project, I had to look around the house for some inspiration. Here it goes:

3 old wool sweaters + old belt + old sheet = Purse?

No way!

Way!!

Not only FUN but FUNctional!

And it is washable, just remove knotted straps and agitate on the delicate cycle

This is how it got did:

I felted the sweaters

Cut off the arms (ouch!) and neck to make the body

Cut out a lining and added pockets from the old sheet

Used an old braided belt for the straps

Sewed the bottom using sleeve section and a blanket stitch to make it look flirty and flared

Used the neck of the felted brown sweater to make a rosette and the cuff of the green felted sweater to make the leaves.


Upcycled...Way up!

I'm linking up to Round 2 of Crafting from The Sidelines being hosted at b3designs , the voting poll is on the right sidebar.

I get votes by clicking on my link so the more clicks the more votes.

Thanks so much for all of your support. IT has been great fun so far!

A vote for my purse is a vote for the earth! (Get it recycling!?!)

Always being renewed,

Lightening Strikes...

So I found out that the jiffy pop costume was made too long ago to qualify for the Crafting with the Stars. But Tam  over at http://www.sewdangcutecrafts.com/ is generously going to let me enter something else! She is Sew Sweet!!!!

But now, what to do?  AHHH, I'll give you a hint. It has something to do with outdoors lights and PVC pipe........

Can. not. wait. to. show. you!!!!
