I love donkeys!

I wanted to make a little "fun" bag - something to add a little quirkiness and whimsy (I hate that word, but it's appropriate in this occasion, I believe) to an outfit. I decided to use felt, which is very easy to work with. Basically I created a rectangle box and sewed it together. I made another box, turned it inside out, and stuck it inside for the lining. And created an applique of a cute little donkey with a googly eye and stuck him to the front (I love love love donkeys. Seeing a donkey is a sign that the day is going to be a good one. Also seeing Wonder Bread trucks are a good omen, but that's besides the point). I need a name for that donkey. I'm thinking, maybe, Henry. Possibly Fergus. I used a blanket stitch to sew two pieces of felt together for the handles. All was sewn by hand. For the donkey, I used fabric glue.

Anyway. Here are a couple of pictures. Those not on broadband should beware.




That one shows the little pocket I sewed inside.
