In this class you will get an in-depth look at some of the different types of felt available and see how to best use them. Your instructor, Ashley Hough will discuss wool felt as well as wool blend felts- which are generally blended with acrylic. 100% acrylic felt is some of the most readily available, easiest to find and comes in a variety of colors, prints, thicknesses, and types.
This class will also teach you the best ways to mark and cut your felt. Ashley will discuss some of the different marking techniques and tools and show how some of them can actually damage the felt.
You will learn several different hand sewing stitches to use when sewing with felt, depending on what you are assembling and where the stitches are on the project. Ashley will demonstrate stitches like the running stitch, back stitch and blanket stitch.
Once you learn how to mark, cut and sew your felt- you will have several fun projects to make. This class comes with patterns for bowls, pincushions, ornaments and more. You will also learn about some of the best ways to care for your felt and your newly made felt projects.
