  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Here is my "before" wool sweater. Not felted yet.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    The first step was to cut off a part of the sweater that was not going to be felted. This was a first for me to not felt a whole sweater as I have only done projects that were either all felted or all non felted.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    After one washing of the top part you can see how much it shrank. But I wanted it a bit more sturdy so back for another wash and dry.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    And here are the two parts, the felted one even smaller and thicker.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Now I took the non felted parts at the side seams.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    I then cut the felted section to make the body of the bag.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    I then sewed the non felted sections to the felted body section of the bag.

  8. Step 8

    Step 8

    I then sewed up the bag along the bottom edge. To gather the ends I used a matching ribbon on a large needle and went in and out along the ribbed ends.

  9. Step 9

    Step 9

    And here you have it:
