OK, I'll start the ball rolling with my scary green monster bag.
Here t'is.

I'm still working on it and I've not decided how to finish off the edge cos I quite like the (unintentional) wavyness.

I will be nipping to a local garden centre later as they also have a Craft dept. hoping that they have felting needles.

The inside is black ...and possibly a bit nice than the green, so might even turn it inside out ... might line it?

It is gradually getting smaller and denser Cathryn, so worth persevering with your coffee pot cover

Well done you Do persevere - it will shrink down I have been creating a white crown / pierced headpiece. I might not be there in person but I have been felting along

Bibbster created a lovely bag with an abstract purple/pink, black design with a streak of white. She seemed to have the knack. Hopefully pics will appear from her later. EV

It is very nice. The colours are lovely. Here are mine after first washing machine wash. I am trying to decide whether to stop at this pint and make bags or carry on shrinking down. I have just got a heap of material out and am considering quilting a cover instead. I am quite weary and fancy a quiet day sewing, frame making so I can play with my new rag rugging gadget (thank you Sally) and sorting out the big hen run for my visitors.

About 2' wide and 1.5' high. I was planning on twice the size needed initially.

I don't think it will go small enough - I'd make a bag

My coffee resist is 14" wide by 16" deep

@earthyvirgo - welcome to the felt side

I finished fulling a handspun / handknitted daffodil brooch in the car on the way home (as you do) - OH was driving, I should add! and sewed the handle on my felt bag as soon as I'd finished watering the veg at home.

Here it is, on our green roof.
