The soft felt over the flap portion of the bag...
...is only anchored at the bottom...
...so you'll notice that the sides of the flap...
...pull-in a bit during felting.
Removing the resist...
...and checking the flap overlap.
During felting...
...as I rub and roll...
...the bag continues to shrink and become thicker.
Rinsing the piece...
...and blocking it for drying...
...by stuffing it with a rolled cloth placemat.
Once dry...
...I outline the circular 'bumps'...
...with a bit of machine embellishment.
Next time: the finished bag.
