Not sewing, but still fibre


Needle felted teddy bear for my son. It is about 1 1/4" high.
This is my first 3-D needle felted object and I think it turned out kind of cute. I wasn't sure how to do this, but you can learn a lot just by trying. For example- keep your fingers out of the way.
I think I am going to like this hobby, but not as much as my son is!

Needle felted hat

This is my new hat. It is my first attempt at needle felting. I like it, but keep wondering if I will look back on it one day and cringe at my workmanship.


I eyeballed the design, did the needle felting using fleece from Vogue Fabrics and sewed the hat up.
Afterwards I decided to add some embroidery. This was NOT the correct order to do the embellishment, believe me.
I did a blanket stitch around the top seam of the crown and added some fly stitches to the little trefoil design that goes around the crown.
The hat is a teal boiled wool type fabric (wool/rayon blend) with the underside of the brim in a black/brown faux Persian lamb fabric. The lining is a lightweight polartec fleece.

Pattern is McCalls 3400
