You’ll need: felted bag felted roses and leaves fiber to match your bag felting needle and mat We’ll begin by adding some felt handles. If you prefer, you could sew [...]  Hopefully the felted bag we made in part one is all dry now! Lets move on to part 2, and learn how to make needle felted roses, rosebuds, and leaves. We’ve already taken a quick look at making needle-felted flowers, and we’ll be using the same techniques today to sculpt roses and buds. You’ll need: [...] There’s a change coming! Rather than three small projects a week, we’re going to present one larger three-part project each week. This will give us chance to go into techniques in more depth, and present a variety of techniques in each project. On with this week’s project – a felt flower bag, similar to the [...] When it comes to crochet, you aren’t restricted to just yarn.

Seen from the right angle, however, a row of [...] Felt is a cheap and versatile fabric for sewing projects. It doesn’t fray, and can be cut to any shape, making it great for decorative work. Today we’ll be learning how to sew felt, by making this fun monster coin purse. I’ll be showing you how to sew edges together with a whip stitch, and [...] Because it’s almost Valentines day – and even robots need a little love in their lives – here’s a ‘recipe’ for a sweetly geeky appliqued tote bag for you or your valentine Sadly I didn’t take photos of this as I made it, or make pattern pieces – and have already given the finished [...] On Monday, we started making a cute cotton grocery bag with a sheep motif.
