Stitching the bag.
The finished bag with asymmetrical closure.
The backside of the bag.
Ready for gifting.
Since this piece was essentially flat felt with a little stitching...
...it was an incredibly easy project to make.
Once in awhile, I think it's nice to stray from my (beloved) resist projects...
...and to use felt, instead, as fabric yardage!
The merino top made a felt piece that was thin and pliable...
...and it stitched like a dream.
I made a covered button with a bit of leftover felt...
...and decided on an off-center closure for interest.
Unfortunately, the friend for whom I made this gift (Mary)...
...has been quite ill with heart irregularities the last month or so.
Mary lost a sister in mid-life to a sudden onset heart attack...
...and I know that she is both frightened, and chafing at her relative immobility.
(She is generally an extremely active and vibrant woman!!)
I wonder if I might ask you to keep her in your thoughts and/or prayers...
...as her doctor sorts out additional testing and medication to treat her condition?
Thank you, dear friends!
