Sweater Carry-All

It could happen to anyone…

Somehow the sweater ‘fell’ into the washing machine and dryer and eventually shrank so much that now it’s only good for the cat

Arrrrg…!

Was so nice and warm! It’s a shame to have to throw it out…

Ok, even if you haven’t done a stupid thing like that, or even if you are enjoying the hottest summer in the tropics, I’ve got to show you what’s possible now to do with those ‘mini sweaters’.

Also because, after the ‘accident’ occurred, these sweaters get tougher yet, and can be used to carry some extra weight in your day to day.

What? Wait a minute…

Even if you don’t need one more to wear, you could have this project and give it away as a present, or donate it to the charity of your choice, so they can sell it and raise funds.

Aren’t they beautiful?

You could sell them too. Why not?

They even look like that brand new Isabella Fiore bag, which I bought for $50 cents and sold on eBay for almost $450 at the beginning of the month.

Remember?

It was nothing more or less than that, enhanced with details of leather, metal and cute pompoms…

And I never I told you: it was heaaavy!

So that your sweater bag is reinforced at the bottom, you can sew the sleeves in with big needles.

As we all know now wool repels water, this kind of bag is virtually maintenance-free, but in case you stain it, you can hand-wash it… If is gets stretched out from use or weight, do the same thing.

I spent the whole summer carrying 2 bags of the same style (I bought at OLD NAVY) and I was hooked on the practicality!

It is so easy ‘find’ anything in them…

“The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.”(Alan Alda)
