Purse Week entry

I've been upcycling things like crazy lately with the promise to myself (and my hubby) that I would then try to sell anything I make on etsy or at the upcoming Harvest Bazaar here in town that I'm going to have a booth at.

I really did have every intention to sell this bag...until it was finished and I realized how completely in love with it I am!

 I made it from an Old Navy sweater I got at Value Village last year.  I had planned to make sweater hats from it, but now I'm so glad I never got around to it!

 The inside is from the top of a pair of brown coruroy pants I snagged at a clothing swap last month.  I love having those 5 pockets built in, without the hassle of extra sewing!
This was such a simple project, as soon as I find another suitable sweater I'll be making another one!  (Maybe this time I'll actually be able to part with it.)
