felted flowers sweater

I felted an old cream sweater and cut it with pinking shears to make the petals and stems for the flowers to embellish a plain black cardigan. I cut circles and gathered them for the centers. Pearls were added to add detail tothe center of the flowers. A great way to recycle old 100% wool sweaters and even socks!

This jacket is a lightweight silk that has been slashed, manipulated and threaded with hand dyed ribbons to created a pleated texture. The bottom of the jacket was left raw with burned edges. The collar is bound with the same hand dyed silk and the weaving and the tied closure. A great new technique that I will be exploring in the weeks and months to come along with many other techniques that I hope you enjoy and might want to try yourself! Stay tuned and let me hear from you! would love your feedback.
