A few felted bags (img. heavy)

[angieInCA]

Here are a few of the felted bags I have completed over the last few months but I just had not taken the time to post.

 

The Well Traveled Bag (this was actually my first felting attempt)

 

 

Here is what I call my Bobble Bag. I designed this one and yes those are popcorn stitches and the felted up beautifully. I use this one as a WIP bag. It is very large at 12" deep and 12" diameter.

 

I have written the pattern and am willing to post if anyone is interested

 

 

Here is another one I designed, well I didn't follow a pattern, I just made it up as I went along. I was actually a gift for a friend of my DD. She picked out the colors and pattern.

It turned out 11" tall and 10" wide after felting. I didn't measure it before I felted it. I haven't written the pattern yet but I did take notes so I will put that one together too. When I have it typed up I will post it.

 

I usually just measure as I go along and and figure it will shrink by 1/3. So I do a lot of eyeball measuring

 

One thing to remember when felting, when it is wet you can do alot of streatching while blocking to dry.

Those are great! My favorite is the first one--I love the colors and the striping, and purse handles are fabulous too! Great job, and thanks for sharing!

All your attempts look great. I am even tempted to say that the first is the best.

[cherokee]

I love the first one......looks so professional. Do you have the pattern to it?

I would love to make it. Great Job.......

[songdeva]

Lovely! You must have jumped into the machine with the bags to make sure you grabbed them out at JUST the right moment. LOL Wonderful work, thanks for sharing!

No, these are not the only bags I've made and yes I do things other than stripes These just happen to be the ones I already had uploaded to photobucket.

 

The 1st one is the "Well Traveled Bag" by Dawn Pietzsch. her is the link to the pattern.

Yes this is my favoite too. I have been carrying this one almost daily since Sept. when I made it.

 

The handle is leather lacing I bought at Michaels (in the leather tooling section). it is 6 strands (for each side) cut to 5' lengths then braided together, laced through the grommets then tied in knots at the side. Dawn's handles look like they are only 3 strands. I tried this and felt they were a little thin for me.

 

I'm still typng up the other patterns and will post when proofread.

WOW! I love the colors-great job! The blue is my favorite but the bobbles are a cool detail on the red.

[angiefl73]

I like all of your bags, but I especially like the last one! Do you happen to have a pattern for that?

Thank you

[Gigiplum]

Wow they're beautiful.

I 'd love to try those patterns!

I've never felted crocheted bags yet and I really want to start. Yours are great!!
