Pretty Little Felts: Mixed-Media Crafts To Tickle Your Fancy by Julie Collings. North Light Books (October 3, 2008)

This book has a country vintage appeal and is not only sweet and lovely but incredibly useful – with some great tips and ideas and techniques explained carefully and thoroughly.

Beginning with deconstructing wool clothing for felting later, dyeing wool and getting a lovely range of shades, making wet felted beads for use in a range of projects and a lovely clear stitch guide with some basic embroidery stitches.

Not all the projects were to my taste, but even so they have some real charm and the ideas can be adapted to your own personal tastes very easily. I enjoyed the simple crochet edged felt flower brooch, I also really liked the idea of the ‘quiet book’ made from a cut metal screen and filled with felt pages with collaged and stitched memories, text and imagery. Sweet felt zipper purse with embroidery and some darling pincushions, mini art satchel and a funny stuffed cat, however what made this book so special for me were the detailed felt beads and baubles with such tiny attention to detail.

Great idea! If only I had long hair…Link to tutorial.

Kristel wrote in to tell us about how easy it is to make this sweet felt garland.

1. Cut leaf shapes out of different colored wool felt
2. Sew them together chain style with your sewing machine. This means sewing through each leaf and continue sewing, don’t lift the foot and don’t cut the thread, add another leaf shape and continue in this way until you have a whole chain of sewn leaves.

A project from one of my favourite books on crafting with felt, Felt Furnishings, is featured on the storque – how to make a felt ruffle pillow.
