When the embellishing, felting machines were first introduced I just
knew I had to own one.
After
all, I didn’t have a sewing machine in my collection that didn’t use
thread! This is the first project I made on my new machine. Gorgeous
brocades,
velvets and sheers were felted into an organza background. I re-felted
the entire three yards of fabric to a piece of navy silk organza. This
covered up the unsightly pieces of felted fabric and maintained the
sheerness. I then stitched a variety of decorative stitches to firmly
hold all of the fabrics in place. Solid colored velvet sleeves and
lapels refined
the scrappy look of the felted jacket.
