MODEL HANDBAG
A handbag that cost? only fid mav bo made very easily from old felt hats which arc beyond hope of reblocking. Two attractive colours should be chosen and the hats should be cut. into strips half an inch wide. These must be woven together to form an oblong the desired size. A bag seven inches long and five inches deep is quite satisfactory. The woven felt would measure seven inches by 10. When the weaving is completed the bag-shape should be lined with silk material matching in colour, and the sides should be neatly joined. When a fcip fastener of the right lenpth is attached, the result will be a satisfactory handbag made with very little trouble. ,
