Felt Bag Workshop


I have just got home from an absolutely enjoyable workshop with Brenda Dunford making felt bags. Got back very tired (it's pretty physical work) and quite wet!!!! But it was definitely worthwhile. All my felting up til now has been done on my embellishing machine so it was really interesting to see how you make felt from wool rovings, olive oil soap & water, a plastic bag, a rattan blind (or beach mat) and some muscle......... I was really pleased with the resulting bag - hope you like it too.
