Description

I used the torso from a vintage wool sweater and some cool wooden handles I found to make this bag. I love it. I know sweater bags were so last season (or was that two seasons ago?) my bad, I guess I’m just retro.

Material Notes

wool sweater and wooden handles

    I love this. You’ve just helped to end my quest. I have a jumper I knitted about 18 years ago and I didn’t want to throw it away. Know I know what I can do with it! Now to search for handles.

    It is gorgeous!! I love your idea! And don’t worry – there is a tendency of addressing everything retro with the term ‘vintage’ :) How ingenious!
