Summary

A colourful one-off book, filled with 15 cute, fun and simple projects (plus some variations) made from felted wool. As well as easy to follow instructions and step by step photographs, the book explains various stitching and embellishment techniques. Projects include mini hanging decorations, beautiful brooches, pincushions, various wall hangings, a couple of Christmassy pieces, plus much more! Templates are provided so that everything can be replicated with ease. The shapes are simply cut out using the templates and applied using hand embroidered stitches. Details such as veins in leaves and flowers can then be stitched with French knots or using tiny beads. Madeleine uses hand-dyed wools for the appliqués, which vary in depth and hue giving beautifully unique effects. Old clothes and fabrics can be cut up and used, so instructions on dying fabric have also been included in the book. This book is a great collection of bright, affordable, and easy to sew felt projects embellished with simple stitching, buttons and beads. They are great to do 'on-the-go' and once completed you have a beautiful gift for a special person or a timeless treasure for yourself!
