First Felted Bag

[samijofitz]

This one turned out better than I hoped! My first felting project...used Lion Brand Wool, washed in washer on hot, purse was inside a pillow case, with some baking soda, an old slipper and an old flip flop added to the mix for agitation.

 

No pattern used, just crocheted the bottom the size I wanted, and then went around the sides until I ran out of yarn.

Forgot to measure after, but there was at least an inch or two difference after felting.
