A Few New Things
We made felt flowers for brooches at the Well Being Centre last week. These are the three layers of one of mine:
I thought I’d found the perfect button when I tried it out:
But just before I sewed it on, I spotted an orange shisha mirror and sewed that on! I haven’t got a photo yet though. I was sorting some felt offcuts a few weeks ago, and thought I’d save some to use for greetings cards because turned sideways they looked like landscapes. I thought it’d be nice to make some new ones too, and was only reminded by someone on the forum (I’ve forgotten who, sorry!) and before I forgot again, I went and made some. I made them quite soft and thin since they’re for cards:
I thought they’d be nice for beginners workshops too. I put a few offcuts to one side while I was sorting, and made a new camera bag. I’ve been using my ‘prototype’ for at least 18 months to see how well it wore. I suppose it’s two-sided/reversible, but I put the zip so that really this is the front:
I still like the back though, and can flip it if I feel like a change:
While the machine was out, I made a little coin pouch from an offcut:
How two small things can create such a mess though, is a mystery!
