twirly skirts
I fell in love with this simple little skirt tutorial at House on Hill Road and went to work cutting up a scrub top that I picked up second hand, not because I needed it but because I liked the feel and look of the fabric. I couldn’t quite get the same measurements from the top but it was still twirly enough to make my girly quite spinny.
In fact, she was so enamored with it that she has become a twirly skirt fiend and will wear little else. I made her 2 more of them with some modifications (no side tie) and she was pleased as punch.
more fun with wool
Definitely need more practice, but I had some fun with my new felting tool and made this cell phone holder from pieces of some old sweaters that I felted in my washing machine and then added the tree design with some leftover wool roving from my Lorelei project and the nifty punching tool. I stitched on some wool felt leaves and added the bird charm at the last minute. I had picked him up on sale at Michael’s some time ago and he was just sitting around looking for a place to belong. I think he likes his little tree and he now has a home with one of my dearest friends as this project was a Christmas gift as well.
My old sweater collection has grown a lot as I collect the holey ones from our local Goodwill clearance center. Making wool felt from them is so simple and a lot cheaper than buying it.
