Gypsy bag

Here is the lovely Gypsy bag!
Thanks for all the comments so far.

It was a bit of an unknown quantity as I was making it up as I went along. I had decided that if it turned out average I would keep it for myself, but if it turned out lovely I would give it away as a Christmas present. I was thinking of someone in particular when I came up with those colours. I'll definitely be saying goodbye to this little beauty! One thing I was particularly pleased about was that I got the density of fabric I wanted, but without too much colour drainage during the felting.

If you would like to find out how I made this bag, then please email me at this address

Please note the capital letters and the UK suffix. Bye for now x K.

The bag looks wonderful! The colours are fab and the strap is really unusual.

Oh it's so lovely Kathleen, the colours are great and I really like the way you wove the handles in and out, that seems to have worked brilliantly.

That is one lovely bag - I too particularly like the way you have made the handles all woven in and out. Today here is Dia de los Muertos, a festival widely celebrated by the Mexican and Spanish speaking population around here. When I first moved here I thought it was all quite macabre, but now I enjoy it as I understand it more. The Mexican bakeries have delicious cinammon bread for sale and along with a cup of champurrado ( mexican hot chocolate) is a lovely treat this time of year. Do you get to teach your students about this festival - or do you concentrate on the European Spanish as such more?
