Felted Purse! This is a self drafted purse made from a cute purple Goodwill sweater I felted and lavender leopard print for the lining and handle. Now whats really 'special' about this is the fold over flap.... its a vintage brocade that I felted wool roving into, following the designs on the fabric.... and it took forever!
I love the hardware I found for it! On clearance at Wal Mart!!!

The inside lavender leopard print... with a zipper pocket, a cell phone pocket... and an extra non zip pocket. I interfaced it lightly since the felted sweater was already very stiff....I'm not quite done with this purse though... I feel like it needs more hardware or something... and ofcourse I need to add my label to it.
Over all I'm really happy with this bag!
This little bolero is a felted cashmere/wool blend. I am taking the left over brocade scraps and felting them into it.... I am not sure where this project is going honestly... I just knew I wanted to do something with those brocade scraps that took so long to felt.

I got this book in the mail this week and so far I am loving it! It has great chapters on pants! Very detailed instructions for knocking off rtw. Some couture methods made easy... easy alterations. I got it used off amazon.com for like $4 and shipping. Well worth it!! This is the best book I've bought in a while.
Just a little pic of my Bald Man before he goes off to coach his Lacrosse game... which was rained out!!! Poor Bald Man he so wanted to coach last night!
