I turned this much loved jumper into a tote bag and pencil case.
The original, front

and back.

Measuring the largest square i could use.

The cut fabric.

Cutting stripes of fabric for the handles.

Sewing and turning the straps inside out.

Assembly stage 1: sew the sides together.

Stage 2: sew the bottom corners of the bag at a diagonal to square off the bag. As indicated by the pins in this picture.

Stage 3: sew the handle on the bag and you have a cute new bag!


To utilize the rest of the designs i made a pencil case from the remaining bee and hive. I cut a rectangle as long as the zipper i had in stock and wide enough to include all of the design.

Add the zipper

and presto a new pencil case!
