Inspiring!
Hurrah, you don't have to knit in order to felt! If you enjoy crafting with recycled wool knitted items, you'll love this new book. The projects are simple and inspiring, colorful and joyful. It transcends ages, inspiring me at 38 and my son at 7. This would be an inexpensive hobby with some reasonable profit potential. Start-up costs are low to none. You need scissors, needle, threads, thimble and ratty old wool sweaters to recycle into wool felt (by washer.) Many of the designs require a sewing machine, though if you were familiar with embroidery, you could handstitch instead.
LOVE IT!
I really like this book. You will not be sorry if you buy this. Lots of great projects with complete directions and a finished look to all of them. There are backpacks, scarves, purse, bags, gloves, hats all perfectly embellished.
Wonderful!
This book is exactly what I was looking for; a how-to book on fun felt projects. I am new to the world of felt and all it encompasses. Much of what I have found seems boreing to me; old-style and/or too crafty looking. This book is different, it has crafty, fun, funky, cute and colorful projects.
What I like:
-detailed, easy to follow instructions
-great step-by-step pictures
-very colorful and inspiring
-information on felt/felting that I have not found elsewhere
Here's a list of some of the patterns:
-baby earflap hat (+2 adult hats)
-bunny slippers (+ another pair of slippers)
-iPod case
-little purse
-back pack
-mittens
-baby coat (super cute!)
-plus many more
One thing to note- most of the patterns given need to be photocopied and enlarged. The book gives percentages to increase by, so this may be a point of interest for some of you.
I am super glad I bought this book and look forward to the many uses I will get out of it. It would also make a great gift.
