Swift Bag Holder
This post was previously published on Think Crafts!
If you knit or crochet you likely have a lot of yarn. I know I do! Skeins of yarn are pretty to look at but yarn cakes are great to knit with and easier to store. I use my Swift every time I buy new yarn. Swifts are great but they’re an odd shape. How to store them conveniently? Make a swift bag that will prevent it from accidentally folding open on its own. Here’s an even better idea-upcycle an old pair of pants to make the holder! This is a great project to upcycle old clothing that is too cute to throw away but no longer wearable.

Materials
Old pair of pants
Sewing Thread
Cat (optional)
Directions
Cut off one pant leg long enough for the swift to fit into.
Sew the bottom part of the leg closed.
Fold over the top part of the leg twice and sew down to make a hem.
Make a tie to close the top part of bag. The old yoga pants I used had a drawstring so I just used a portion of that. If you don’t have one cut a thin rectangle from the second leg of your pants. Fold in edges and sew together to make a tie.
Slide swift into bag and store away until your next yarn purchase.
Craft on!
