The finished felt...

The felt piece, drying...
...over a plastic bucket...
...to help retain its basic shape.
The pinning and seaming begins!
You can almost feel how soft and light this felt is.
I got pretty crazy with some of the seams, didn't I?!? :)
I think that the silk in the roving really makes for a beautiful, lustrous felt.
Because I wanted to start with a more 3-dimensional piece than usual...
...I dried the felt over a plastic bucket, rather than flat on a table.
Once dried, I began pinning the felt into shape...
...machine stitching each seam with variegated thread as I went along.
Next time: the finished purse...
...with felt-embellished leather strap.

Rachel--Thanks so much!
Liz--I'm glad you like it!
Looks lovely and lush with the silk, and I just love the summer squash colours. Its gonna be quite an exciting bag I think with the seaming.
