Sweater Purse?

I had an old sweater I bought for my husband when we were first married. It fits fine, but he says its itchy and that he hates turtlenecks. Lesson learned!

So I decided to turn it into a fall purse for myself.

I absolutely adore my new satchel! After felting and cutting the sweater, I added some pretty crochet trim that I bought from the store, and a vintage doily that I bought on my honeymoon in Mexico. The inside of my creation is lined with an old sheet from my local goodwill. Its a handmade venture all around.

I love it, and I am sure this purse and I will have many adventures. Soon.
