Fall Leaves
Fall arrived at 8:09 p.m. on Wednesday but here in Washington, DC it felt more like the height of summer with temperatures this week in the 90’s. Hopefully those of you reading this post in cooler parts of the world will fully appreciate these little wool bags with appliquéd fall leaves. For those of us still sweltering, may they bring hope that cooler weather is just around the corner.
Each of these bags is made from a variety of wool, many of which were repurposed from thrift store finds. The bag design is a simple lined pouch. The machine embroidered leaf designs, made from cotton batik fabrics, are from Kathleen Parman’s Herky Jerky line. I featured other designs by Kathleen in my January 20th and February 10th posts this year. Each bag was finished with an I-cord made from a novelty yarn (or two) and each has a twisted yarn strap.
Happy Fall!
