Book Description

Not Your Mama's April 2, 2007
The art of felting, the process of working wool fibers together to form felt, is the ultimate in craft creativity because no two items turn out exactly alike. The first book to cover knitted or crocheted felting, needle felting, and wet felting, Not Your Mama's Felting will have you creating fashions, accessories, and gifts that will have your non-felting friends asking, "How did you do that?"

Fun and funky, this guide includes:
* The essentials: all about fiber, the tools of the trade, wet felting, needle felting, fulling, and dyeing
*

Patterns and step-by-step instructions for approximately thirty projects, including an assemble-your-own wallet kit, a bad-boy hoodie, a loopy boa, a chunky bead necklace, needle vases, and more
*

Tips to customize each design
*

Basic knitting and crocheting instructions so that even non-needleworkers can make all of the projects


Does the smell of wet sheep turn you on? Long to escape to your own private yurt? With Not Your Mama's Felting, you'll be a felt-loving material girl in no time.

3.0 out of 5 stars just okay, August 11, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Not Your Mama's Felting: The Cool and Creative Way to Get it Together (Paperback)
I have a variety of craft books and this was one was just okay. Some good ideas but not a lot I would make. I highly recommend, "Warm Fuzzies," instead which is made out of used sweaters but has SO many cute ideas!
