Am now the owner of a new felt bag made by my own fair hands. Had a really good day learning how to get wool to turn into a bag just(!) by adding soap and water, plus a heck of a lot of rubbing.Who knew! Anyway although enjoyed day not too sure about bag, went a bit wrong on the outside but was able to flip it inside out and salvage something. My mum's however was excellent (its always a bit depressing taking her along to these things, she always makes something lovely). Will try and pop some photos on at some time.  At the very least I got a day off from the school run thing so that counts for a lot.
