On the list to be finished were spring purses for my mom and myself. Mom's purse is her old purse, but the handles were wearing thin. She liked their style, and so I came up with this solution to keep the old: a new felted band along the top, encompassing the hold handles. It turned out quite well, and mom chose the bright pink flower for a decoration.
This is my new spring purse. I just realized that the flower I couldn't part with, and which I designed the whole decoration around, never made it on the purse -- somehow a smaller, pinker flower got in the center. So, there is still a corner of the check box to fill in when I rip of the wrong flower and put the right one in its place.
I like the basket design of the purse and the lovely cables that still show from the original sweater.

I LOVE your new spring purse!
I worked on Saturday for a couple hours and saw the little Easter baskets you brought in. I bought one immediately for my goddaughter. Too cute. I plan to blog about them soon and put it on the VYS Facebook page.
great bag! did you use recycled handles or did you buy them? i like the mix of hardware and felted bags - brings them to a new level. i finished the rug! woohoo. of course i went out and bought 4 more sweaters to cut up for a new one : )
