FELTING

In February and March – we celebrate. We celebrate a lot!! Every week. Even three times a week actually! Birthdays – my mum, my 2 daughters and me (we have birthdays in a same week), my niece, my sister, my father-in-law. We celebrate, eat cakes and give and get presents. One of these presents from two friends (Helena and Kristina – thank you! :) made me start exploring how to sew felt. I was so inspired that I almost ran to the shop and made me buy felt, different colors and thickness. I started – with sleepers for my 2 nephews and niece, for their birthdays. It was easy to sew, on the contrary that a salesgirl warn me – that I should be aware not to ruin my sewing machine! Nooo – the sewing-part was easy… I could even wrote children´s names on the sleepers. But then, when I finished them – there was a big, unsolvable problem! Felt was too thick – and the elastic did not put it together, to be tightly by the leg. I did not even give them sleepers – now they are waiting for better times. Sleepers, I mean… Then I started with purses. Hand-purse for my niece, and the other for my sister – for over the shoulders. Very colorful.
