The finished bag...while drying.
Variegated pink, blue and purple thread and grosgrain ribbons.
Machine stitching buttonholes in the felt...
...and cutting them open with a seam ripper.

A peek at the inner drawstring 'channel'.
The closed storage bag (side one)...
...and side two.
After stuffing the bag to maintain its shape while drying...
...I machine stitched a small buttonhole on each side (near the top)...
...using variegated thread in shades of blue, purple and pink.
I pulled mismatched grosgrain ribbons through the felt casings...
...one from the left side and one from the right...
...so that when pulled, they work together to close the bag.
The bit of silk in the roving lends softness to the finished felt...
...and gives it a subtle sheen.

Love, love, love those colors! Drawstring bags are just so darned cute. :)
And the channels seem to have worked really well!
Thanks, Denise! :)
Rachel--I know that I need to use a little more fiber next time (esp. at the edges), but all-in-all, I am happy with this experiment! :)
