Felt Embellished!

Remember this purse?

"From Knit to Felt" was the subject of my first blog...

It was a happy little purse, yet, oh so bare!

I stared at it...

For a few days...

Make that a week...

What can I do with this purse?

Add a flower? My initial?

Maybe...

But those are both so "ME"

So very, very ordinary, "ME"

I attempted to step outside of the "ME" box,

And...

I grabbed some wool felt out of one of the many baskets of material I have in my sewing space and I cut a long strip! Then I twisted it and sewed it down to make this swirl. I looked at it some for a few more days. After a quick consult with HobbyHubby, I added the one lone red bead!

Voila!

Tonight, I rooted around in a basket of fat quarters and found this fun red piece of fabric to use as the inside lining! I think I'm in love!

Happy Hobbies!
