After my last little hiccup I thought I'd give the purse idea another whizzI still had some of the lovely pansy fabric left and I had used up some leftover soft golden wool to make a small sheet of felt
This time I remembered to turn the outsides to the inside before I went near my sewing machineAfter a more succeful purse that only needs a smidge more tweaking I treated myself and made a needle felted flower ring
Hi Rae! Thanks for popping over and leaving a comment on my blog. Don't be too amazed by my bag - it has progressed no further, fabric uncut, only one flower sewn on!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first bag that I have made and I didn't have any of the thick plastic recommended in Gillian's book (of Gillian Gladrags) so I used what I had (and I had read somewhere of others using it too). I honestly had no problems with it. It was strong enough to put the layers on and wrap the edges around. When it came to the rolling, the felt shrunk a lot and the bubble wrap simply scrunched up beautifully inside the felt. Would definitely use it again - cheap, reusable and easy to cut into any shape. Hope that helped!
You have a great blog, I looked back through your older posts and it was lovely to see what you had done on your course. Have you made any felt beads? They're really easy to make and very effective.
Pop back and see me soon, I promise to do something to that bag!
