Assembling commercial pre-felt snippets...
...(re-purposed from other projects)...
...and piecing them together like quilt blocks.
Trimming a large, seamed piece of pre-felt into shape...
...for the purse bottom.
Wrapping the resist with the 'pre-felt coat of many colors'...
...in order to discover where any additions might be needed.
Adding small rectangles of contrasting pre-felt...
...to cover any gaps in the stitching.
Using nylon thread and a sharp needle...
...the foam resist is sewn into its pre-felt 'skin'...
...and the opening is pinned closed...
...to keep the felt covering taut during felting.
Next time: additional fiber is added.

It's looking very bright - and very capacious!
Rachel--Capacious!!! Lovely word and woefully underutilized!
