My first felted bag

[macgillie]

I really liked the self-closure of this bag:

and the stripyness of this:

When I mangled them together, I got this:

Two things I learned: it shrinks a lot, and wet sheep stink!

 

Oh, and here's the picture from before felting:

Very creative! I like how it turned out, and i agree---wet wool isn't the most pleasant smell.

I love it! It turned out great.

It turned out great! And yes, it sure does stink!!!

I'd hardly say you mangled them together - you did a great job combining what you liked from each pattern and the end result is lovely

very pretty, great job.

That looks really great! I also agree, I don't think we'll be seeing any 'wet wool smell' air fresheners anytime too soon

Nice job!

Nice bag...That why I only dye when I can open the windows.. Felting in the laundry room isn't so bad. I can close it off from the rest of the house...
