Sewing the floral pocket lining to the inner bag flap.
The finished inside pocket.
Sewing on the resist-dyed accent piece.
The finished bag from the back...
...and in close-up (I think you can really see the purple/blue color blend here).
The bag front with tagua nut button...
...and up close.
When I returned home from the Creative Felt Gathering this year...
...with several lovely but modestly-sized resist-dyed felt pieces...
...I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them!
Certainly, they would be delightful as framed art pieces...
...and some might even be large enough to use in fashioning a zippered change purse or two.
So far, however, this is the only one that I've used...
...because it seemed clear to me that this bag (in these colors)...
...was just meant for this particular piece of patterned felt! :)
I machine stitched it to the flap of the bag...
...sewing very close to the edges of the resist-dyed piece...
...and placing it in such a way as to allow for a centered button closure.
