Felted Sweater Revisited
It's Aliiiiiiiive!
Remember this?
And this?
After a snip snip here and a snip snip there, I used the sewing machine to make a little bag.
cutting out the bag shape after the bottom has been sewn shut-goodbye sleeve!
The felted fabric was quite firm and I don't think it would unravel, but I wanted to make sure, so I did a little blanket-stitching around what I can't help think of as the "armpits" and "neckline" of the bag. As you can see, I was reading Richard's thesis proposal at the same time.
plain blanket stitch is boring
Et fini!
I didn't post a picture of the sewn bottom because I couldn't get a good one. And I still want to iron the creases and bottom of the bag to give it a little more structure- I'll post a better picture when it's done done and the light is better. (It has been miserable for a week now, I can't get any good pictures of anything at all!) I thought about embroidering some flowers along the wide turquoise band in the middle of the bag, but Richard says it would be too much. Thoughts?

Thoughts? Nick is really hot. I love "Harry Potter" (new movie in 400 days!). I have the cutest nephews ever. I'm glad work is almost over. Oh, did you mean thoughts about your bag? It's very cute. You are way more creative than me.
It looks good the way it is. The colors are wonderful.
