Here’s a closer look of my mom’s bags which she makes from sweaters. Photos could use some help, but time is hard to come by today.

Wonderful!!! I would love to make one of these.
wow, those are seriously wonderful. I bet they are cozy to carry as well…very sturdy.
These are so cool! Thanks for sharing such a cool find.
Love, love, LOVE these! You know I am always searching for wonderfully upcycled things!
Love those! My favorite is the green one. I am going to keep my eyes open at the thrift shop for a sweater to turn into a bag. Thanks for the inspiration!
I want one!!! where can I get one??? xoxoxo
awesome! crafty genes run in your family. i saw something similar in ready made magazine a long while back after i had seen the idea somewhere else. i love it, but have yet to make one. old clothes and bedding just really are some of the best crafting materials ever!

I love them all! they look so cozy to hang on to.
Thanks for the wonderful comments everybody! They made my mom feel great!
i seriously LOVE those sweater bags. seriously. all of them!
Wow, these bags are amazing!
Wow, what a great idea! You’re lucky to have a creative mom
I love the green one, very cool
These are wonderful. I really love the first one!
well, i see where you get your talent. those are fun!
Great colors! Wonderful stripes!
I like the way they have a flap and a big button to seal them up. I have been making some felted sweater bags, too, but so far they yarn open and I worry that something will slide out one day when I plop my pocketbook down! Beth
I like the first one, too, but I’d wear the green! (bright colours are not my style.)
They are so very cool!
What a great idea. She certainly has talent!
They are great, especially love the first one and the olive-green one. Talent clearly runs in the family!
Those are great!
Can’t wait to see the etsy shop.
How cute are these! Almost inspires me to get out the ole sewing machine.
Very cute! I love seeing them all hang together.
I love the first one

Not taking short comments? LOL!
Grace, I’ve heard that before, that it won’t take short comments. Sorry, that’s a little frustrating actually. You should be able to leave a 2 word comment, not sure how to fix this. Glad you are laughing about it!
