As you know, I found a VERY expensive Pendleton knitted golf vest last weekend at a price I could not refuse. No, I didn't purchase it to wear it - so get that thought out of your brain immediately. :)
But I wanted to show you a little time line in my creative process today in transforming a new knitted vest into a one of a kind tote bag - a TygerLily original with no pattern, just rulers and a little experience under my belt.
Pad the thing down.....
SOOOOOOO scared to cut a sweater. YIKES!!!
Looks like a boat.......
It's making some progress here.....
Pieces and parts.....
The guts or shell...
Realizing I'm copying my own pattern! HA! This is a larger version of my own favorite sweater remake that I carry every day.
Do I throw the rest of the vest away? Is that being wasteful? tee hee
A little TygerLily wooden dangle for fun....
Finished but for the hand stitching around the inside top.
Hopefully this looks like a visual tutorial with limited sub-titles. It's almost finished - handwork is all that is left. But this old dog is tired. This one wore me to a frazzle. But I accomplished something, and it's my own design.
Until we meet again...............
