Introducing It's Stashing Tote! Say it fast. Yes. It sounds like It's Dashing! And it is!!!
One of my testers did it in black, grey and soft blue. Lots of options, I tell ya!
Admittedly, I have a disease. It's called "compulsive containerism" and I've got it bad. I love bags. On a trip to Taiwan for 10 days, I came home with 11 bags. Just call me "The Bag Lady".
Now, if you look at this and think, "Wow, I would like to make that, but I have never worked with wool and felting." FEAR NOT! In the pattern I walk you through the steps of felting--which can easily be done in your washing machine. The results, a sturdy, strong and durable bag which will last! Oh, and did I say...no need to weave ends as you can just trim them after the felting is all done!
If you've got lots to take with you and need room for expansion, just unbutton the tabs and you've got it--showing some little dottie happiness! Also, because of the density of the felt, there is no need to line it.
The pattern gives all the information on yarns, how to put the bag together, and how to felt it.
You can find the pattern in my Etsy shop here.
If you want to keep in the Felted "Button Loop" follow me on Facebook. Lots of color, crochet, yarny business and positive--come say hello!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! You are very kind!
DeleteThis is so eye-catching! So glad I found your blog via Moogly's link-up. :-) Your designs are so wonderfully colorful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I really am a bit color-crazed! It makes me happy!
DeleteWow! This is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch, Corina! That means a lot coming from you!
DeleteThis is beautiful! I wish I could work with wool more but I seem to be allergic. A small felting project every now and then is all i can do. I went through a period of "felter madness" a couple of years ago. This piece would be a nice way to go a little mad again :-P
ReplyDeleteOh, dear! I'm grateful that I'm not allergic, but I can only imagine. I would stick to little projects, too! This one could be worked maybe just a square at a time and set aside to "recover". ;)
DeleteBeautiful shaped bag and love the colors too :)
ReplyDeleteHi, this bag is beautiful. I've just started felting my crochet and have been looking for inspiration. Do you think your pattern would work with 8ply wool ? I'm in Australia and it's hard to get 10ply. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fine, but your bag would end up a tad smaller.
DeleteThanks, that what I thought. Can't wait to download pattern and get started now.
