The Year of the Bag
November 27th, 2007 by Simone
This year has become my ‘Year of the Bag.’ In the past, I’ve usually bought a bag a year or maybe every other year. Then Kristin La Flamme’s bag pattern
caught my eye and since then my household has been inundated with bags, purses, and pouches.
Currently, my favorite pattern is the basket bag designed by Lisa Lam on her blog U-Handblog.
It is the perfect size, amenable to countless variations and a great gift. I make mine out of felted sweaters, but you can obviously use any kind of sewable fabric. If you are thinking of pledging handmade gifting this year, this would make a fabulous present.

Loving that first “Bag of the Year”. I have an old wool sweater that needs re-purposing and I think you have helped me find its new life.
