Hi there! This is my first bag and I am sooo happy with the way it turned out! I don't feel that the pictures do justice to the orange, orange-yellow and navy blue colors that I picked...but...it's okay, lol.
The pattern is free from DIYNetwork.com (

I'm attaching 3 pictures...one of the bag before felting, and two afterwards. :D
