re-cycle and felt

This course will be all about taking fabric which has had a long life and giving it a new lease of life, by adding it to fine layers of pre-felt,to create beautiful garments or interior items,depending upon your choice.The yardage you create can be sewn together, or felted at the seams-your choice.There will be no giant seamless garments to work at  furiously to shrink down to the right size.You could even bring a favourite pattern with you and may have time to create rust dyed silk to add to the equation.You may also choose to make a throw and handstitch on it-the sky is the limit, but you will need a collection of lightweight charity shop scarves to re-cycle.

Re-cycled old lace ,frills and furbelows on the right,


Yardage in the making, before the final processes in the spin dryer-lazy woman's feltmaking!
More about costs shortly.
