Once it was holding together well I removed the bubble wrap beneath the flap and worked it a little more |
Time to remove the resists |
Carefully cutting the underside of the flap, following the curve formed by the resist and shaping of the bubblewrap |
Once the resist was out of the handle I flattened it out and added some huge basting stitches to hold it that way till it was finished |
All edges carefully healed |
with very wet soapy fingers |
More rolling and pummelling needed |
Fully felted, blocked and dried. I forgot to take a photo of it blocked to dry - I stuffed it with tea towels to hold it firmly in shape |
Nice strong edges. You can't spend too much time 'healing' your edges.. the better attention you pay to them early, on the nicer the finish will be |

I really like your work and it's great to see
how you make it - so thanks for sharing.
I also loved your Hobbit Hole tea cosies and Wuthering Heights Hat - both favourites of mine. Very inspiring!
Thank you Foxglove :)
