Santa Purse

[samijofitz]

I made this using Patons Classic Wool, and the pattern I purchased from Oh The Pollybilities.

I used a strap handle rather than the one shown on the pattern, I prefer to have straps on my bags.

 

 

I have received MANY comments on this one! Even had someone ask to buy it! I did contact the pattern designer and she gave me permission to make one to sell.

That's so cute. About how big is the finished/felted purse?

[Tampa Doll]

I was wondering the same thing - I don't see a size given on her pattern.

I really like it!

 

I also like how yours tapers inward a little at the top, whether that was intentional or not, it really adds to the design!

 

Very pretty!

I may have to try to make one of those!

Upon closer inspection, I see that the square the seller has laid out by the purse in the etsy shop is a 12 x 12 ruler.... by that it looks like the purse is about 10 x 8".

 

I'm comfortable with it being a bit different - it is felted, after all, right?

 

So I'm going to give it a shot! I ordered the pattern, and I'm already planning a trip to JoAnn's tomorrow. I'll add some red wool to my list!

 

Thank you for posting this! I'm excited about trying it! We have a Christmas party to attend next week, and if mine turns out half as good as yours, I'll be able to carry it!

Very cute. I like the simple design. From where did the pattern come?

I purchased the pattern on Etsy, the link is in the first post - OhThePollybilities is the seller's name.

Sorry, my unfelted size was 13" wide by 9" tall, felted was 8" by 8" - I must have felted mine more than she did, I like the size, perfect for holiday parties when you just need a few things, not the whole suitcase I normally carry around.

It worked up quite fast, and felted well...I love mine, and I'm sure yours will turn out perfect!

The tapering at the top is part of the pattern, I liked it too!

Thanks for all the help!

I bought supplies today!

[amaryllisse]

Agreed. This is really cute.

[happy stitcher]

I made one! Mine turned out smaller than I expected, but that's OK for this year. I think I just left it in the washer too long....

I'm going to try to make a bigger one for next year, though.

I get compliments on it everywhere I go!

Thank you again for sharing the idea and pattern link!
