Charlie Felt Satchel
This useful felted bag has crisp shaping with contrast I- Cord edging and an interesting layered edge seam feature.
The internal pocket is an ideal size to keep your kindle or I pad mini or similar sized device safe and secure. With 2 main compartments and a double front pocket this felt bag will hold all your other essential items.
The flap secures with 2 magnetic closures or buttons and the strap will fit neatly over your shoulder.
This bag is knitted first in pure wool and then felted in an ordinary washing machine.
My clear and detailed 8 page pattern contains detailed instructions and photos to guide you step by step through, knitting, sewing up and felting your bag.
