That's so cute!

My oldest daughter is standing behind me and she's begging me to make her a bag just like that. :hook

thanks everyone for the nice comments- yes the flower is felted too ( just out of scraps left over) the handle is just chained lengths of doubled yarn sewn together at the end and then felted.

Can't wait to do another one for ME this time!!!

Fiona, it's gorgeous! I love the handle and the flower. Have you decided about closure yet? I don't think it needs anything!

WOW.. that is great.:clap

Ok ladies... I'm new to "felting". Actually, I've never even heard of it until last month.
Is there a certain yarn you use? I would love to make that for my daughter as well.


Terri :yay

it has to be pure wool - ( no acrylic at all) then just crochet a bag - waay bigger than you actually want...............then put it in the washing machine; hot wash and watch it ( different colors take different time) ...then take it out and shape it and dry it - voila!

You have to give it a go !- I promise you your first will NOT be your last!- very addicting!!
