Nice bag Stephanie. Love that felted look. Just finished my capelet and a scarf to go with it and I packed it up and forgot to take a picture of it😤 😢. Thank you for all your help with that.

Such a nice looking bag! If I try felting, I will probably end up doing it in the washer or dryer, my hands would never hold up to doing it manually. But you really have me tempted to give it a try now, that just looks so good!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Hey AKD!! Thank you, I’m really pleased with how it came out too! Felting in the washer works- just check out some UA-cam videos or blogs to get the process. I appreciate you watching!!
