(cross post) Felted Baguette Bag with leather trim and shantung lining

[eunnyjang]

The pattern started out as Nicky Epstein's Floral Felted Bag from the fall '04 Interweave Knits, but it changed along the way into something very different - it has leather cargo-style handles, a lining with a zippered pocket, and a lot more structure than the original.  Click on over to my blog to see LOTS more pictures and see the evolution of this project.

I looked at your blog too, and I am very very impressed.  That looks like it took an extremely long time.
But it is quite beautiful.  You did a wonderful job.

Thanks guys!  I've never made a purse before - and I've never really sewn before, so this was definitely a learning experience.  Lots of fun.
