French knitted, stuffed with natural roving, machine felted and then needle felted.  What an effort!

Posting for Ez- first example is a needle felting FAIL…looks like something my cat barfed up.  I suspect this has more to do with the wool that I used and not my total lack of needle felting talent.

Next is a machine felting WIN- same type of wool but I chucked it in the washing machine and let the machine do all the hard work.

I am also going to start an upcycled newsboy cap today, made from an old woolen cardigan that I found at the Salvos and machine felted.  I haven’t really done any sewing since I was in year 7, so it may end in fail, we’ll see…
