Felted sweater

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to create a new tote bag to hold my craft projects.

What are you most proud of?

That I made it out of a $2 sweater! :)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make sure to choose a sweater that is mostly wool for felting. This sweater was 80% wool and 20% nylon, and it is a little stretchy.
