#needleworkmonday-Scraps Become a Bag
Taking advantage of needleworkmonday to show a bag I made out of cotton yarn scraps I gathered from my local thrift store. This was knitted on a machine and seamed by hand.
Each side has a slightly different colorway. The length and drape of the bag makes me feel as if it is a garment.
For those of you that would like to create their own version by sewing, knitting or crocheting, I'll provide the dimensions.

The bag is made from four pieces 12 by 9 inches, two pieces 12 by 4 inches and a strap of 32 by 3.75. That strap runs the length of the bag and is a side panel as well as a strap. I have allowed very little seam allowance, so if you're sewing and need a little more, be sure to add that in. I think this bag would translate well into being used for scraps of fabric or leftover clothing.
This is really cool! A great idea to use rest pieces of fabric.
I like the colors and patterns on this bag! It’s really cute! My mother-in-law collects handmade hobo bags when she visits different states. This reminds me of one of the bags she has. Thank you for providing the dimensions for us.
I think it is similar to a hobo bag. Thanks for your comments!
Absolutely!
Great bag and pattern @kimmac !
You're very lucky to find such lovely colours at the thrift store :)
I know. I collected them over many trips.
Color- and pattern combination are beautiful. And I really love roomy bags. But sewing is a mystery for me...
It's very pretty...it really looks like fabric vs knit, which is very cool too!
I thought it was fabric also! So pretty!
It is very thin yarn, so it is like fabric. Glad you like it!

what a great idea @kimmac ! thank you for that - I have been looking for something to do with my left-over textiles, this would be great for a shopping bag. :)
You're welcome! I really like the dimensions and hope it will suit you.
