I was wondering if anyone else on here felts sweaters or wool.  My mom and i have been recycling goodwill sweaters into purses and such for a while.  theres lots on our etsy, but heres a few pics.

Those are great!  I hate orange, but oddly, I love that last one.  No idea why, I guess it's the color combination and the shape.

Hi One it was hard reading your post.  (pictures were over the writing) But I have felted a bag and have one or two waiting to be washed. It is fun to watch the process.  I have a pair of slippers that I made for myself but they fit perfect before felting .. Some one told me that the slippers have to be as Ronald McDonalds feet so when felted they fit perfect.  Here is a picture of my felted bag.Dora  sigh picture would not upload… will try again later.

Definitely need to be clown shoes before felting!  I made a pair for Andrew and they looked hysterical before washing them.

After all your work does Andrew wear them.

Almost daily for the last 2+ years!  In fact, he has worn a hole in the bottom that I need to fix at some point.  I made myself a pair too.

I would love to try something like this, but I am highly allergic to wool - so guess I will let others like you do these adorable little purses - that I can't even use! sniff sniff - love that top one!

One of my mom's best friends is also highly allergic to wool, weve had to make her cotton and other versions of some things that she falls in love with!

Great bags. I love felting. I used to felt sweaters, but lately have been knitting or crocheting and felting. My favorites are hats, but I save them for local shows. Mittens are fun to felt, either handmade or made from sweaters.
