After not making a felt bag for ages, in the last month I've ended up making nothing but bags! In September I attended a feltmaking workshop with US artist and tutor Ruth Walker, who has developed an interesting way of making felt bags using a large ball and Norwegian fleece. So I spent two days making two different bags, which was hard work but very enjoyable - here are some during and after photos of the brown bag I made. I then ran two bag workshops last week to make felt bags - shoulder bags one day and clutch bags the next, using a flat plastic template rather than a ball. Here are the participants and their very successful finished bags! So now I'm all fired up to have another go with the ball when I next get a spare day!
