I crocheted the flower again with a crochet hook of different size.  The result was not what I expected.  The crochet flower is a beautiful decoration of something like a bag.  So, I decided to make a bag with it.  I have felted the cut-up woolly jumper earlier with a hot washing.  They seemed to be a perfect match.  I took out the scissors and cut and cut and stitch ...
The bag was born.  I did think about taking more pictures when I made the bag but I ran out of time to do so.  I was making the bag as Ellie's friend's birthday present.  The party is tomorrow.  I shouldn't have left it until the last minute.  Back to the bag, I really liked the running stitches.  I should explore to use it more.  There is also a inner layer of fabric that didn't show as I didn't like the raw stitches showing in the inside of the bag.  
Since it is a birthday present, I made a little tag under my new shop.  Should I be making a pattern for this bag?  I really wanted to.  There are a couple of things I want to improve.  I am not going to make a similar one until I have some woolly clothes to felt!!!  If I get enough requests how to make one, I will have to think about it.
