Step 6: Finish up
If you've basted, now's the time to rip it out. You'll also want to hide your threads by hand sewing them back into the felt. If you don't there's a good chance they'll catch
on your zipper. That's it. You've got a new bag or wallet or randomly shaped container.
Enjoy!

Step 7: Gallery
I've made a few more bags to use as presents. They're all made from more or less random curves that I adjusted till I got the shapes I wanted. I'm thinking about trying
polygons next.

Yes, congratulations on the prize! Do I get a cut of the prize money as the original designer of the UM bags? :)

It does look like a mouse. What about ears? :-) I'm a great mouse-lover--had a number of the white ones as a child.
I can't really make out-- are these are two-way zippers? I'm sure it'll come clear when I can see the thing actually in front of me.
Hmm. I have a very long orange velvet thingamajig (for putting a cushion inside). It fits about 4 king-size pillows with space left over--and, here's the best
part: the beautiful brass zipper! I brought it at Goodwill mainly for that zipper -knowing it would prove itself as precious- although
I'd always thought to build a long narrowish bench to put it on.
hmmm. One thing I thought was interesting, following the trail of crumbs from Joshjakus to treehugger was someone's post about working in a recycled felt
factory and becoming very sick--it was attributed to the fibres. She made the point that real wool felt is a renewable resource and stated she wouldn't
have the recycled stuff near her, touching it everyday...
anyway, I'm thinking these would be great in my thick velvet, maybe with interfacing.

yeah, i wanted to see what it would look like with loose objects inside, and that's what i had lying around. :)
jftesser says:
Thanks for the pics! I really like the stripes. Are those puff stars in there?
whiteoakart says:
What does it look like when it is full of stuff? I like it. I am not a bag carrier, but I like a clever design.

Awesome!
I found these bags too, and also wanted one. I posted about them in the forum here.
Nice work on working out the shape. I played around in my CAD software for ages trying to get the shape. I didn't have the same results as you - I couldn't
get the edges to match up by rotating a curve and alighning.
I liked the "Tote" version, and it took me ages to get the shape. It all fell into place when I found the non-round fillet technique.
