How to felt a sleeveless vest

Handmade Merino Felt Scarves - A Crowdfunding Campaign on Kickstarter



What is so unique about my hand crafted merino felted fabrics.

The process

This unique textile is non woven.
Fine layers of Merino wool tops, or rovings are laid layer upon layer to build the design.
Felting of wool is a very natural process.
The result is a unique textile, that is breathable, soft, warm, translucent like old vintage lace and yet strong enough to endure daily wear.


works of art emerge from the process.
See the process in a demonstration video  



Images bellow of the Sleeveless vest, Waistcoat as seen in the demonstration video.

A unique sleeveless vest,
You can wear it from both sides.
It has no seams,
so wear it with the shocking pink outside one day
and then the next, wear it with the soft candyfloss pinks, outside.
2 vests in 1.... for the price of 1


This Hand crafted Sleeveless Vest has been listed on my Kickstarter rewards page
For just one luck backer.
 Make the Pledge, and this gorgeous Statement piece is yours.
Size: will fit a UK size 10 to 16
...However, if making pledges and waiting for campaigns to launch and end is not for you?
Then drop me a line, Contact  
I would love to make one for you.
Commission a work of art, that is so unique there are no two like it in the whole wide world.
How special is that !!!

Are you ready to be different

Being different is good.
How will you make your mark?

I Launched my Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a creative studio

This campaign is but a small step towards the creation of that studio
A space, that is warm, comfortable, safe.
For children with special needs, to be able to express their creativity, Their uniqueness and most of all have fun.

Felting with wool is a therapeutic and rewarding experience.
We use our hands to felt, but why stop there when you could use your feet, or your whole body.

The studio space will enable me to explore creative projects like felting with children and empower them with confidence and greater self worth.
