I Hate Felting!

I don't know why I get into this, I really don't like felting. So far my success is limited with a couple of hats that turned out quite nice but larger objects always come out too big, too wide or not straight. Beats me what I do wrong, but here is my market bag.

Before felting...


After Felting...


Now maybe once it dries and I find some nice solid fabric for the lining it will be fine, I guess we'll have to see. Next week, we are heading to the cottage for the last long weekend of our summer here. September 2 we leave for 7 weeks in Greece.
