Upcycled Sweater Bag with Punch Needle Embellishment

Description

A unique, one-of-a-kind bag from "a little bit behind©." I use 100% wool sweaters to create unique purses and pillows, adding embellishments of wool & vintage trims and buttons.

This bag started life as a dull 100% wool sweater -- but baby, look at it now! Heathery rust felted wool forms the body of the handbag. I created the embellishment by needle punching the design through hand-dyed wool and then sewed it to the purse front. The turned cuff hem at the opening of the bag is needle felted to the body of the bag.

A rolled and felted handle adorned with little buttons of felted roving bring an added fashion touch to this one-of-a-kind purse. Lining is a neutral cotton print. Three hook and loop closures along the top inside edge keep this bag looking beautiful.

Measures 13.5 wide x 7 deep; 15 inches from top to bottom with the handle.

Never will there be another like this one - it's all there is! Wool is not just for winter anymore!

"a little bit behind©" is a business segment of Folk 'n' Fiber from Amherst Folk Art & Rug Hooking. One-of-a-kind bags are designed and created by Ohio folk artist, Sally Van Nuys.
