Felted vest class
Well I finally decided to try a garment. Living here in Florida makes it hard to justify felting clothing. We don't get cold enough to actually wear wool for more than a few days each winter. I saw a class being offered in Asheville for a nuno felted vest. I thought this would be my chance to make a garment I could actually wear! So off I headed to Asheville. The class was given by Suzanne Morgan, was lots of fun and I learned a lot. The long lock collar was the perfect addition!

It's wonderful, Kelly!!! The color is terrific, and I love the raw locks embellishment!! XO-
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially like the blue locks around the neck.

That's a beautiful long vest! Did you make 3 separate pieces and then felt them together seamlessly? It's hard to tell from the photos.
ReplyDeleteHeather- thanks! I was excited to try a garment that I would be able to wear. The locks were fun to play with.
ReplyDeleteZenitude- Thanks! The locks were the perfect touch to add a bit of fun!
Deborah, I think I got over my fear of nuno felting!
Fab- this was seamed together after the nuno felting process. I wanted to take a class that left me with something I would want to wear. Most of the one piece garments I have seen are not as fitted as I like my clothes to be.
\Thanks All!
Just love the colours Kelly especially the collar and the shape is perfect - so easy to wear! - hope you do get lots of wear out of it! I posted yesterday about a nuno felt blanket - hope it's ok to link your nuno to that page ? I was just popping by to see if your parcel has arrived yet? I'm thinking not ... I'm still having trouble with internet - maybe send me an email? Have a great day, Tiffane
ReplyDeleteI wanna make one! *jealous whine* The colors are awesome and I agree...the locks are the perfect finishing touch. Congrats on a job well done!
ReplyDeleteTiffane, link away! I saw your post and really want to try it out. I have always loved the picture of them on your blog. I have not gotten the package yet. I will email you as soon as I do! :)
ReplyDeletePat, maybe we need a felting day over Spring Break...let me know and we can make you one! It was easy peasy.
