Still a bit fuzzy...

I used the last of my Winterwood felt stash today. It's such a joy to sew. I was also using the 90mm Flex Frames.
The wee one now has a spec case for her sunnies and I have a new camera pouch (stuffed wth paper for the photo because I was using the camera).


And I've nearly perfected the pattern for what I was actually trying to make.
Product development is never a waste of time, but some days it takes longer than others.... and it's often the simplest shapes that need the most tweaking.

  1. The colours are really vibrant and look gorgeous. I don't have a lot of experience on my sewing machine, but I love working with felt. Is it easy to sew on the machine?

  3. I love your spec cases. Felt is so nice to work with and looks great too. Sadly, it does not look so great for long. I made myself a bag from felt 2 years ago to take on a trip to Cancun. What a disaster! It got so dirty on the plane, and by the time I arrived in Cancun, it was fuzzy, woolly and starting to look sad, especially the flowers I added as embellishment. Would love to hear some advice to avoid this. I make my spec cases from cotton fabric and line it with felt. The first one I made lasted a year.

  4. I really like those specs cases, particularly the first one. Great colour combo!

    Have never tried sewing felt before, but I guess it can't be too hard, with not having to worry about raw edges and all!

I LOVE to read your comments and they brighten my day. I can't respond unless your profile has an email address attached, though... And some days I simply don't have time to respond.... but I respond in a telepathic sort of way to each and every comment.
