A large piece of flat felt made with pencil roving...
...and wool roving from Bordeleria sheep.

Stitching the lining fabric to the felt sheet...
...to create an open-top envelope.

This was a summer project that I somehow neglected to show you...
...so I guess now is finally the time! :)
With felt made from light brown Bordeleria roving...
...and hairy pencil roving (from Portuguese sheep)...
...plus wonderful batik fabric that I purchased in Rotterdam...
...I constructed this light, roomy tote.
I stacked the felt and lining, wrong sides together...
...and stitched them up into an envelope...
...then re-folded the project to stitch-in box corners.
I then fashioned long leather straps...
...from a large piece of black leather...
...and machine stitched them to the bag.
Next time: the finished tote.

I like that one.
Thanks, Linda! :)
This is looking real good, already. I'm sure when finished, it will be wonderful. Hope it gets a lot of use too. :)
Beautiful bag Heather! I love that it has so many elements from your travels :)

Lovely - roomy, as you say, and creating a subtle pattern.
