30 minutes to a recycled felted sweater

August 20, 2009 by Linda Lanese

sweaterbags

Get out all those old wool sweaters or take a trip to the thrift shop and in 30 minutes you can have a stunning one-of-a-kind bag.  I found this felted bag tutorial on “Whip Up”, by Abigail Percy who is a contributor.  Abigail lives in Scotland and is a jeweler and a so much more designer.  So check out Abigail’s stunning jewelry on her site or become her fan on Facebook.  About “Whip up”: To prepare quickly. To excite. To create. To incite. To build. To invent. To conceive. To push. To upset. To manufacture. To provoke. This website has been created in order to bring the best original and exciting crafts to the attention of many. To create a community of artists, crafters and makers and share ideas in a central space. A handcraft guide in a hectic world

What is handcraft? “To fashion or make by hand”. “A craft or occupation requiring skilled use of the hands.”  Whip up is a multi author site with contributors from around the world united by a passion for making things, for beautiful design and for a desire to share ideas with others. The editor and originator of this site is me, Kathreen Ricketson, I wanted a central meeting place for ideas and projects and technical advice for all the latest that is handmade around the world.
