I had my last day of my 4 week felting course last week & we had to put together a project - something of our choice which combined the skills learned over the previous 3 weeks. I decided to make a hand bag.
I felted 3 long thin 'cords' which I plaited together for the handle. I graded 3 different felt colours from dark grey to light grey to natural for the main 'body of the bag. I decided to add a flap so that the bag can close nicely. I also felted some lace into the front and the back of the bag (the image doesn't show it very clearly, but it is there!). This project was a great learning curve & I'm pleased with the result.
I will most likely work on it a little more...add some porcelain buttons etc.
We had Nin's Lemon Meringue again. Yum!

Hello!
Best thing to do is contact Jeanne directly on 0822150764 / jeenie(at)iafrica.com or you can phone Nin Kalk Bay (021) 788 9599 and speak with Jeanne if she is in (the shops are interlinked)
I highly recommend the course - I really enjoyed it!
Let me know how you go!
