The art of salvaging sweaters for repurposed artsy bags requires finesse, not just any sweater will due. Choosing a medium to light weight sweater is a must. Bumpy, thick, and cabled varieties yield less than polished results. Sewing through cut knit also requires a special tool for a successful finish. A walking foot sewing machine attachment makes all the difference and prevents seams from gathering as the presser foot crosses the fabric’s surface. Potential sources for creative sweater retro-bags are your own closet, thrift shops, and local garage sales. You too could make your own sweater-turned purse today.
