This bag turned out really nice. I did alter the pattern just a bit. I found the handle on the pattern too fussy so I just eliminated the purse rings that were suggested to attach the I-cord handle. Instead, I grafted the ends of the handle to the body of the bag. I went crazy with embellishments - flowers, leaves, vines, bead centers for the flowers (unfortunately, those don't show up on the photo). The felting went really well too.
