I just found your site today. I am loving this cute little purse! How does the fabric/wool not unravel when you cut the pattern pieces?

hey abelle,

the wool sweater was washed/felted so then you can cut the pieces out just like felt - no unraveling. I thought I was such a smartypants discovering this but here's a whole article on it...
