From Kat: And loaded up to go to SnB GJ's meet! Overall I am pleased with the finished bag, although I thought it would come out a bit stiffer. It shrunk quite a lot, but is still quite deep as I added an extra inch to the pattern, and made the handles a little longer too, which was just as well as they shrunk the most! This project has inspired me to make more felted items, and has even got my husband interested in making a felted bag for his camera.

From Kat: Drying after three times through the washing machine and pummelled to death in the sink by hand.............

From Kat: Bag before felting.........

Jacqueline's pre-felted whoppers.

From Jacqueline: These Mary-Jane's were actually completed about 3 weeks ago so you will all have to excuse my tardiness in getting these photos onto the blog. As you can see the pre-felted slippers looked like Ronald McDonald feet but afterwards they came up wonderfully. The sole has a double layer which makes the slippers super comfy to walk on and also really warm. I can't feel any cold even when walking on a tiled floor.

These were really fun to do and I think every girl needs a pair of red Dorothy shoes. The fact that mine are felted slippers makes it even more fun!
