Thanks to everyone who entered the Wet Felting Class giveaway, and thanks for the nice comments. The winners are:  Lucette and Jan (comment at 2.38 am). We’ll contact you later today on the email you used to comment, with all the details.

I thought I’d get my sewing machine out this week and make a few things with offcuts, samples and test pieces. The first thing I made was a large notebook/diary cover. The main part only took a couple of hours, but then all the little fiddly bits, straps, flaps, attaching them and sleeves etc all seemed to take about another 4 once it was all added up. I got through quite a few cd albums making it anyway! This is the front with the clip closed:

And the inside sleeve:

I don’t know if you remember this piece I made earlier this year, testing out a piece of viscose scarf:

I thought it would make a perfect coin purse. I measured it, cut out the parts and then chose some embroidery threads:

Another felt piece I cut up for a purse was a flowery sample I made years ago for Beyond Nuno:

Choosing More threads:

It all started getting a bit hectic once I got the buttons out too 🙂

Hopefully, I won’t be able to show you the finished ones because I’m taking them to the Christmas Fair at the well being centre today 🙂
