Well here it is all finished and I have to say i am pleased with it and have already started another.
I may well line it later on with some cotton fabric to preserve the inside and also so I can have some pockets for my mobile and keys. If I do decide to line it I will post a photo.

Your felted bag is gorgeous! I was supposed to make one of these in my yarn and fiber group but I could never get the hang of knitting. I imagine I could crochet something to felt. Maybe I'll try that one of these days. Great work! Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammy, you could indeed crochet and felt a bag. I think you would have to crochet on a very large needle, but I'm not sure. Try googling 'How to crochet and felt' and see what comes up.

Wow an amazing bag, very professional
ReplyDeleteLouise thank you so much for your kind comment.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I was surprised that I made one that I was happy with first time. I half expected to have to try a few times to get it right, thankfully it did as the wool isn't cheap.
The bag is gorgeous and the plaited strap was obviously the way to go - along with the stunning button!

Thanks Pam, I loved making it and I'm doing a larger one now with a plain green top which is thicker wool so the top should be chunkier than the bag, if my plan goes well. M x
