I found that at a quilting store up north. I cut it without a seam allowance so there isn't too much bulk at the seams because the wool is already quite thick. Then I basted it in place while I sewed the seams. I never baste, but this project was actually a bit difficult because of the thickness of the wool - that's why the top edges are just stitched to the lining, not hemmed.<BR/><BR/>I found the felted wool at a store called Affordable Textile at 531 Queen W. I looked at the bill, and the .5 yard was $7.50 plus tax. It was in the back of the store on the right, but the girl who works there was helpful and showed me. They didn't have very many colours.<BR/><BR/>Other stores in that fabric district might have it too.Claire Louise Milnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12790425100261161307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18972312.post-1140008037483452072006-02-15T07:53:00.000-05:002006-02-15T07:53:00.000-05:00ooh i love that camera bag - i smell bday present ...ooh i love that camera bag - i smell bday present for my sister. when you say quilted, do you mean it has batting between the layers, or did you actually quilt it? <BR/><BR/>also, can i ask where you found the wool felt? i've been thinking about picking up some myself lately....toronto craft alerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747211016021078375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18972312.post-1139946115591550932006-02-14T14:41:00.000-05:002006-02-14T14:41:00.000-05:00Wow - you have been busy.
