Something drew me to the local ladies auxillary resale shop yesterday. I don't go there much but my car had the fabric antenna out and next thing you know, I'm parked in front. I look up and outside is a whole line of winter clothing all hung up neatly in a row with a sign saying
ALL WINTER CLOTHING MARKED DOWN TO $1.00 TODAY!
well, did I have some fun :-)
I got 12 100% wool coats, skirts and pants to felt for projects. All good quality - why the buttons alone would be worth a buck! The fuscia skirt on the top is a suede for a purse or bag. I also got a London Fog hooded raincoat in my size for me to actually wear as well.
So now I'm looking for ideas and patterns to make stuff with felted wool. I want to do some pincushions to sell at the quilt show in june or some othere sewing related wool felted item.
any ideas?
I found a cute owl pattern and a cute one using a tuna can
trouble is, I should finish up about 4 other projects - (sigh)
nah, what's one more project in the works ...... or two .... or three :-)
Quilt On!
Can't wait to see what you come up with
ReplyDeleteWow....can I borrow your antenna? Great finds, there are some really cute pincushion patterns out there....
ReplyDeleteAce haul........always listen to that inner voice!!
ReplyDeleteYou got such pretty colors!!! I am thinking I will make a bog style coat with my felted wool. Don't forget to clean that lint trap a LOT and watch out for your washing machine getting clogged too. I run an empty wash cycle to flush out the washer after felting wool.
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching what you come up, with as well! :D
Or four or five...or more! Great deal you got! I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with.
