Vintage Bubble Bag

Pattern: Vintage Bubble Bag by Eva Wiechmann, Pursenalities
Yarn: 2 skeins Cascade 220 and 2 skeins Noro Kureyon

I recently finished this felted purse for a friend of mine who gave it to her mother-in-law for Mother's Day. Instead of attaching the handles to the bag prior to felting, I chose to add knotted handles post felting. Julie had the purse lined at our LYS. The lining really made the purse. I also created a coordinating clutch with needled-felted flower embellishment.

Julie's mother-in-law had been wanting a felted purse for some time. She was thrilled when she received her gift from Julie. And she, sweet southern lady that she is, called to thank me for making it. Both Julie and her mother-in-law were so appreciative that it made making the pieces that much more fun.
