Inspired by one of my old favorite leather purses, this handy accessory is knit in one piece, wet felted and then fnished with faux stitching to give it a more structural look. A great first felting project, and the body and stitching color combos are endless!

This pattern was included as a free pattern from Firefly Fiber Arts Studio as part of the 2021 Chicago Yarn Crawl.
