Felted Handbag



I made this bag a few years ago for my sil, bff, birthday twin. I found the pic while sorting through my pictures yesterday and thought I'd share it. The entire bag is made from a wool sweater my mama pulled out of a give away bin and I machine felted. The pocket on the front is the perfect size for a cell phone. Hands on time for the entire project was less than 45 minutes.

My needles seem to be going non-stop here lately. I am knitting slippers for my lovies this Valentine's Day. The pattern is easy and mindless, so it is a good one for a mama with a stuffed up head. The gift actually serves multiple purposes. 1) It tells my babies that I love them. 2)It keeps little feet warm. 3) It keeps them out of MY slippers.

Your bag looks cute, but I am not into felting...don't like the feel of it.
They certainly wouldn't use YOUR slippers LOL...not anymore than one of them would hog all of the quillows that were sent to them LOL
Hope you get to feeling better soon.
