Kathleen Cubley of Knitting Daily tells us that her local fabric shop sells some fabulous felt squares, and she has wanted to make something with them for a long time. She thought it would be fun to turn these squares of felt into little gadget bags or change purses, so she started sewing them together. They’re pretty plain, though, as you can see in the photo. She came upon an article about needle felting in the 2006 issue of Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts (which is now available as a download), and she thinks it’ll be really fun to embellish her little bags with some needle felting cuteness. Once you have the materials, which are inexpensive and easy to find at craft shops, needle felting is easy and fun. The following information is from Leigh Radford, the designer who thought up one of her favorite felted pieces, the Needle-Felted Messenger Bag.
