Noni Felted Carpet Bags
A free version is also available.
This classicly-shapped Carpet Bag comtines practicality and beauty. It makes a bold statement as a briefcase emellished with luscious camellia flowers (flower instructions included in the pattern), a great weekender bag, or a knitting bag that will be the envy of all but those who have already made their own.
The Rather huge carpet bag really is rather huge. If the finished measurements seem rather abstract to you, get out that tape measure and make it in the air. It is BIG. And it is traffic-stoppingly gorgeous with big, sexy camellias on one (or both) sides.
The medium carpet bag is the perfect size to carry anywhere. It works as a purse to carry everyday, as a tote for those smallish knitting projects, or as a look-at-me-and-my-awesome-bag fashion statement.
When you don’t want a big carpet bag, it’s nice to have a small one. It looks terrific unembellished or decorated with a single camellia flower or any one of the many Noni flowers available in singlet patterns or in the Noni Flowers book.
