WIP: Fake-a-Gamo Bag



I am taking a break from making felted bags by working on this bag, which is supposed to be a knock-off of a crocheted Ferragamo bag. We'll see how this turns out.

Hobo Bag with Flap and Pocket

Before felting
After felting

Inner pocket

I altered the pattern of the hobo bag by adding a flap and an inner pocket. Next time, I will try to add the pocket after felting because sewing it before felting made the back part of the bag uneven.

Sandwich Bag




Here's a before and after photo of a felted sandwich bag. I still can't decide what closure to use - magnetic clasp or a button.

WIP: Messenger Bag

This messenger bag is not quite done yet. I might add some trimmings on the flap so it's not too plain and will felt it some more as I'd like it smaller than this.

Multi-Colored Button Hole Bag


Here's a before and after photo of the Button Hole Bag. I used a multi-colored yarn by Patons and I made the bag taller, but it still needs some tweaking. I'm not happy with the shape, but I am learning new things as I work on different bags.
