Sewing on Felt

 My latest experiment with felting.  I am wet felting out the designs and then machine sewing over the top of them.  I have added stabilizer fabric to the back to keep it from bunching up. 
So far, I like this look.  Getting the tension right on the sewing machine is hard and I also can't do free motion sewing on my machine so it is a little rough.  I will keep playing with this.  I think this could look neat as a clutch.

  1. I like the texture that you get from sewing on felt. I think the flowers look great. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Thanks! I got some advice from some serious quilters that told me I need to a)change my needles more often and b)slow down on the turns. Looking forward to more of these!
