bags

This time the bags I've been busy felting 

don't look like the bags 

I'm usually making
...

I wanted them to be a bit more simple to felt

and possibly combine them with fabric.

(as long as cat-assistant leaves my wool in peace

she's allowed ón the table)

The pattern is just a long strip : 

front - back - flap

The rest is still a bit of a mystery (to me) 

Using a piece of net, to prevent the "nuno" parts from shifting

(though my hands don't like rubbing on the stiff net)

This one's dry now and waiting for the fabric gussets.

The next one in a different colour scheme

just four layers : two for the inside (light pink)

and two for the outside (reds oranges and pinks)

This one's still wet and not all the nuno pieces are well attached :

the silk and cotton were okay, the mix fabric (big dots) not quite.

And my other assistant ?

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

doing some vacuuming for me,

(with my felting "swimm noodle")
