Scandanavian Seamless Resist Technique

Here's a brief intro to making a seamless purse or bag.

I begin by creating a batt of wool roving and add decorative elements last.

laying out fibers 

I often use a resist pattern when making my purses or bags.

This technique is called Scandinavian Seamless and it creates a finished product with NO seams!

making the "seams" by folding over the dry wool on the edges of the resist pattern

the pattern is enclosed by wool on all sides
but I have allowed extra wool on one end to make the flap

The end result is that the fibers that are overlapping the edges of the pattern felt together so there are no seams.

I will post a photo soon of the finished bag!
