Softly Felted

Winter is just around the corner so we are all starting to think about warmer clothing and accessories. Here is a hand knitted wool bag that I felted. {washed in very hot water}
The bag shrinks drastically when washed so remember to make your bag much bigger than you intend it to be.
I searched thought my materials for something to make the handles from and decided that this lovely pink leather/ suede would be just perfect, strong, soft and striking.
I added the large vintage buttons and a hard card base that I covered in a matching pink silk.
Overall it's very soft and the leather adds a touch of luxury, a great winter bag.

It's in the BAG

This hand knitted alpaca wool bag was washed on a hot wash,which made it considerably smaller than before.
I added roses and a snap twist lock.
The straps are cut and sewn from embossed velvet.Very decadent don't you think.?
Fairly time heavy to make but the finised item is very pleasing.
Not too pricey £58.
It could be yours.!!!!! as this is very postable.
