I have just finished felting another bag. I did not use the yarn that the pattern called for. I wanted to try the pattern with some yarn that I had on hand. I used 1 strand of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, in the color rain, and 1 strand of Yarn Bee Gilt Eyelash the color Watersparks. The URL for the pattern is http://knitting.about.com/library/nicebag.htm
It was a very easy pattern. I washed the bag twice because I didn't think that it felted enough the first time. Before I felted the bag it was 12 1/2 inches wide and 13 1/2 inches tall. After felting it was 12 inches wide and 11 1/2 inches tall. I am going to sew a button on the front of the bag as soon as it dries. I made a loop at the top of the bag for a closer.
