How to Make a Sweater Bag

Sew Handles on the Sweater Bag

Create a handle for the sweater bag from an old, cloth belt or a length of ribbon.

Erin Huffstetler

Create handles for the sweater bag by cutting an old, cloth belt in half, and stitching a handle on each side of the bag; or by doing the same with two pieces of decorative ribbon.

Tip: To keep the ends of your handles from unraveling, apply a bit of super glue to each one.
