Recycled wool purse

Description

Made from soft fuzzy green wool remnants picked up at a rummage sale, this bag is just the right size for the essentials (phone, wallet, keys, and lip-balm) plus a paperback.

The lining is a light-weight pale blue corduroy, also recycled. Inside, in addition to he main compartment, there are two big pockets and a spiral ring for clipping things. It has a flap closure with a giant snap. The hardware is recycled too. The strap is adjustable, so the bag can be worn across the chest as a messenger, or tucked under your arm like a purse.

Measures about 8" x 10.5" x 2" (20 cm x 27 cm x 5 cm).
Shoulder strap length varies from about 44" to about 25" (112 cm to 64 cm), meaning a drop from shoulder to the top of the bag of between 21 and 10.5 inches (53 cm and 27 cm)

Note: This bag is made from recycled materials. All materials were washed before I began making the bag and then the finished bag was washed as well. We love the not-so-straight, not-quite-parallel semi-overlapping rows of magenta stitching.

Hand wash in cool water. Lay flat to dry.
