Handbag for a Friend



This was a gift I made for a friend. The inside of the bag is white and the exterior is black, but felted together it looks gray. I sandwiched some assorted brown fiber in between layers so they would peek out where I snipped the surface with scissors. The wool is merino and the handle is an upcycled belt.

  2. Thank you! It has a magnetic snap closure, one pocket and is partially lined in gray silk. Hopefully, she'll get a lot of use out of it.

  3. I love the shape of the bag and the upcycled b elt looks great. You must do a post on how you attach the belts as they always look so well done.
