Do you know that old sweaters waqshed with the towels make wonderful colorful one of a kind felt mirjam
I've been wanting to do this... I have a friend that buys old wool sweaters from the thrift store. She felts them and then turns them into purses or bags.

Lynne , everyone can do it !!! my first ones happened by mistake , i didn`t see a sweater that hid amongst some towels in the dirty clothes bin...... it was a green sweater with Braids,,,,, after crying my eyes out , i decided that i will use this , and cut a front of a vest , knitted the back and used the braids [which became relief braids ] for embroidery and adding beads .. If you make bags i advise to add a lining [ one can use old shirts or any oldclothing you have ,, mirjam
Funny thing how great minds think alike. I was just researching some slipper patterns on the web yesterday and came across the Martha Stewart site that had one I liked. It had been my plan to recycle some old sweaters and such to make some for the fall. I thought perhaps some mittens might come out of it as well.
Hallo Farrant Yes Yes make the slippers [ But don`t Forget to make Non Slippery Soles ,,,, and mittens as well , Non slippery soles can be made from recycled Nylon stockings =3Dtights, ropes , cut old leather bag etc,,, mirjam
