Sweater Bag

My friend Sonja brought me this sweater vest that belonged to her grandpa and asked if I could make a bag out of it for her. I was a little nervous because I have never sewed with a literal knit before and wasn't sure if it would immediately begin to unravel once I started cutting. But I said I would try it and see how it went.

I forgot to take the "before" picture until I had

already cut it up. So I just pieced it back together on

the floor for the picture.

She also had some fabric that belonged to her grandma that she gave me for the lining. I also used it for the handles and a pocket on the front.

It actually went together more easily than I thought and I am pretty pleased with it! I think it turned out rather well!

Oops! Just turn your head and you can

see what it looks like up close

I love this square button I found for the pocket!

I really matches the square pattern of the fabric!

I also added two pockets inside
