Sweater Purses






In the course of our crafting, we like to use recycled materials when we can. These purses are made from wool sweaters that have been felted in the washing machine. They are then cut up and stitched together like felt. These purses were appliquéd, but purses can be decorated with embroidery, needle felting, buttons, or whatever we have on hand.

The handles for these purses are made with braided strips of fabric. We also make handles with yarn (braided or fingerknit) or strips of felted wool sweaters.
