Simply Felt: 20 Easy and Elegant Designs in Wool Natural, tough, and beautiful—felt is an extraordinary textile.
Using natural woolen fibers hand-rubbed with water, you can create a durable,
versatile fabric for making a wonderful collection of garments and home
accessories. Best of all, felt never frays. Authors Margaret Docherty,
an expert felt maker and teacher, and Jayne Emerson, a textile designer,
have teamed up to present the fundamentals of felting: choosing fibers
and colors, making flat felt and boiling felt, and stitching felt. They
also cover the more advanced process of inlaying other fibers to vary
felt design and texture. The felting techniques are demonstrated with
20 beautiful projects in a range of contemporary colors; projects include
a cozy cloche hat, a charming child's jacket, warm slippers, delicate
scarves, square and inlayed throw pillows, and an exquisite, long-lasting
rug. Each project is presented with simple, step-by-step instructions
and illustrations, and offers alternative samples and suggestions that
help you to create your own designs. Now you can bring the highly sought-after
handcrafted style of felt into your wardrobe and home décor-this
book promises to make it simple, and oh, so beautiful. |
