Felt Frenzy and Skill Share Demonstration

​Our member, ​Jill Preston, will share creative ways using felted scraps to make Christmas decorations and other items.

In this Frenzy, participants are invited to bring felted items they have made which use small partially or fully felted pieces to share ideas. Examples might include glasses cases, decorations or brooches.

Jill will also demonstrate 2 Christmas decorations: one made with small felted pieces which are sewn together and the other which uses either pre-felts or wool. This is expert felt-maker Nadia Rein’s free Christmas tree PDF which you can access at her website Nadia Rein Design, if you want to have a look before the Frenzy.
