Needle Felting on Wearables

#132 The"Rosina "
Duster optional maxi coat

I love this coat! Okay you have the option to use 2 or 3 sweatshirts to get the length. I really think the coat looks great as a maxi or just duster length. The roses along the bottoms of the center front flaps and back and even the sleeves can be appliqued or needle felted. This is really a personal preference. I used hand embroidered vines with rose buds to intertwine. The pink and brown polka dot fabric is very easy to come by and stripped would have worked as well. The lace is 3 1/2" wide and I had to dye it several times to get that color. I used pendleton's brown plaid flannel (wool ) remnants. And the icing on the cake the belt closures from my local thrift shop.
I am so proud of this coat and I love it! It is lined with white nordic fleece.

#129 The "Flower Garden"

This pattern is wonderful whether you applique or needle felt it or both. There is a lot going on here that the camera did not pick up very well, such as hand embroidery, needle felting, glass beads. The jacket is beautiful very much a garden of colors and sewing mediums.

#131 The"Great Outdoors"

Well, this is a very interesting jacket, another leftover project. the pendleton wool was a remnant, the trees appliqued on back are left over sweatshirt pieces, the trim are left over waistbands from the jeans that we used the pockets off of and of course the pockets are being used here as well. The pockets were needle felted and the closures are the buttons and button holes from the jeans, and of course built on top of a sweatshirt. This is a really neat looking jacket, and simple to make.
