Sweater Bag

Here is a little pouch I made to hold a gift card for a Birthday present.
Super super easy and look down to see why!

Yes, it is a sweater sleeve. I found this wonderful sweater at the Goodwill store.
I was just overcome by the possibilities of making things with this sweater. I have had it for several months, when I was looking around for some holder to make for the gift card.
--Why, of course,--the sleeve!

I just cut it off and sewed it in-side- out and threaded a ribbon in the top to bring it together. So now, what ideas are there for the pockets and other trim, I wonder??
