Sweaters from thrift stores---washed in hot water in the washing machine, then dried in a hot dyer--PRESTO! wool felt! which I then cut up and sew into handbags. This one is orange and green in honor of FALL season---plus, I love orange. I lined this, and added pockets inside for your keys and cell phone. The handle is braided sweater strips, just the right length for a comfortable shoulder bag.
This shows the lovely lining fabric--the handbag flap is lined with a brown sweater.
This is a back view of the handbag---just slightly different than the green striped front---with an orange horizontal side strip.

what a hip looking bag!
Is there nothing you can't re-use? I thought I was good at this from living in the country and Alaska, but you are far superior in your skills than I! I'm impressed!
