A Personal Record!

Holy mackinoley folks....9 comments!!! That is definitely a personal record! And only one of them is me! Thanks for all the lovely warm compliments!

The jumper came from Kohl's. I think Kohl's is probably the go-to spot for denim jumpers, should anyone decide they want one :-) Dress Barn is probably also a pretty good bet. I must say that jumpers ARE both cozy and comfy and easy to get dressed in the morning, though not terribly flattering :-)

In order to make it, I simply figured how large of a pice I could cut around the motif (limited by the seams on the sides) and that set the size for the bag. The flap was 11 inches by 11 inches with half inch seams so it is 10 inches by 10 inches.

If you wanna make a knitting bag from jeans, Lucia, it's even easier. Cut the legs off just under the crotch. Flip inside out and sew a few times over (for strength) right across the bottom. Flip back right side in, add straps however you like, and decorate as desired. These are super nice bags to carry because they have lots of pockets for your water bottle, purchases, notions, etc.
