First Felting project all done!

[craftimama]

Last night I felted a Booga bag (online pattern from Black Sheep Bags) and I put the handles on this morning. I just love it! Here's a picture of the finished bag:

 

 

There are more photos on my blog that I took during the felting process if anyone wants to take a peek at them.

 

Hugs! Juli

Too cute! I haven't tried felting yet,but I'd love to give it a shot. You did a great job!

Juli, just gorgeous! I LOVE the colors! I'm hoping to try my first kool aid dying this weekend for some totes I want to make and felt. Your photo documentation was great for me follow. Thanks! Patty

Great job on the Booga Bag!! I love that pattern. Hopefully I will get mine done soon as well and hopefully it will turn out as beautiful as yours!

That really turned out nicely, and it looks like a great size. I bet you'll really enjoy that.

Oh wow!!! Awsome bag - I just love it!! Thanks so much for sharing the pattern location too...I have been looking for something similar for a while! Can you tell us what the finished measurements are? I didn't seen that on the pattern...Thanks!

[craftimama]

Mine came out about 9 inches long x 5.5 inches wide by 11 inches high. The online pattern says that the dimensions are 7.7 by 4.5 by 8.5, so mine came out a bit bigger. The online pattern called for size 10.5 circulars and I used size 11, so maybe that's why mine came out a bit bigger.

 

That sounds small, but it's bigger than it looks. I dried the purse over a plastic baby wipes box, which fit perfectly snug into the bottom of the bag so that the bottom would dry flat, and there was lots of inside room left.

 

I used 6 feet of I-cord (before felting) to get a nice size handle length. If you wanted an over-the-shoulder bag though, you'd have to make them longer.

 

Hugs! Juli

Great looking bag! Good incentive for me to get my act together and make and felt a purse instead of thinking about it!

Great job & I love the colors. This felting is intriguing me more & more. Hmmm ... may have to buy some wool! :lol

[jdepro]

Very nice. I don't yet have the guts to try felting yet.

[sunshine1977]

Thanks for the info, Juli - Looking forward to starting my own! I have been dying to do something in Noro, but most patterns call for much more than 3 balls, and that stuff is pretty expensive! Glad to have found one that I can make that is in my budget!

[bythehook]

WOW! I love it too!

[threeolivemartini]

gotta love Noro!

[earthwhisper]

Oh, that is very pretty! I love the colors!

[Terri/LadySorce]

I haven't been brave enough to try felting yet. That is so pretty I may have to give it a go.
