Make Something Cool Friday!

I am making this recycled sweater sling purse.  The pattern is so easy to follow on this site that I hesitate to even call it a pattern!  

This one is my favorite...  I am not crazy about the flower so mine will be without it.  The instructions are here.  http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2010/11/re-purposing-sweater-into-sling-purse.html 


I found a fantastic grayish turquoise wool sweater in the mens department at the local thrift store for only$2, and bought a magnetic purse snap for $3, and use some scrap fabric for the liner but generally you can buy a yard of a matching fabric for $1-$2.  So I will have a fantastic purse 



There are a ton of other cute bags at this link including a making them out of grocery bags, pillow cases, oilcloth, and videos too...  http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-make-sew-tote-messenger-laptop-bags-craft-tutorials-sewing    and what exactly is a squidoo anyway




*UPDATE*


Here is some pics of my re-purposed sweater sling bag (whew!  thats a mouthful)  The project took me 1 morning to do and it was really easy and I love the instructions, simple straight forward and lots of pictures!
