My Friends Call Me the Bag Lady!!

And for good reason!! I have sooo many bags! And if you're out shopping with me, it's pretty common for me to buy another~until now!! That's right, girls! You heard me! I'm not going to buy any more bags (well, I am going to seriously cut down!!) because now I'm making them!!! And they're so cute!













Here's one for winter~made out of recycled sweaters~a common phrase amongst us artsy-fartsy's is "Upcycled". Taking something old & making it into something better! ;)
This is super fun~and super time consuming!! But, I'm doing my part & supporting the local second-hand stores! My favorite is definately Salvation Army, where on Wednesdays, it's 1/2 off ALL clothing!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Made from 5 sweaters (once felted, they shrink ALOT!) of pinks & grays~I'm in love! And I found some really cute, soft, gray & pink polka dot corduroy to line the bag with! PERFECT!!! Stay tuned for more! I'll be making them alot in the summer to stock up for the winter. So, if you have a color combo request~let me know ;)
