Very useful with great ideas5
I have just started felting some wool pieces and making them into things. This book took me from the beginning and offered easy to understand instructions, plenty of room for experimentation, and interesting ideas for using felted wool. I like it very much and unless I pursue this a whole lot further will probably not ever need another book on the subject.

70s and 80s fashions3
I got this book from the library, thank goodness. It is a good book for technigues, but most of the items are very old fashioned - not old enough for being vintage though. I actually looked at the publishing date and coudn't believe it was 2008! I am looking for the other book.But take a look at it first in the library or book store and decide for yourself.
