I took a workshop with Carin Engen today on making felted purse. What fun! We worked the felt around a template cut from a blue tarp.
1st layer in eggplant
At this point, it looks a bit like Sasquatch pelt.
2nd layer in progress
Then we cut out the handle and then the inside cut section becomes the flap. The other flap is folded inside and will be a pocket.
Finished purse!
The pink design is supposed to be a jelly fish. You may have to squint and use a lot of imagination.
