Here's a little felt project I did awhile back. It was fun and quick-I used fusible webby stuff to keep the 2 colors of felt together before stitching, folded it up and blanket stitched all around.
here's the peek-a-boo, look at me lining. 2 things-the felt took forever to lie flat-even after lots of ironing-etc-but now is super flat-and I think next time I will do a faux-button closure. Maybe sew a button on, but have a snap underneath instead of a button hole. Sewing the blanket stitch around that hole was not too fun. I remember a lot of cursing.
