Ieri, Domenica avevamo organizzato un corso sul feltro. Io ho ceduto il mio posto a mia figlia e....per fortuna perchè è stato bello ma faticoso. Una socia del nostro gruppo ha messo a disposizione la casa. A causa della molta acqua che si deve usare penso sia meglio farlo in primavera all'aperto. Si è più liberi di bagnare, di sporcare e forse si sentirebbe meno la fatica. Alla fine erano distrutte ma con la borsa fatta. Io ho fatto solo le foto ....che ora vi mostro.
Yesterday, Sunday we have organized a felt course. I gave my place to my daughter and.....lucky me! because it was fine but difficult and tiring. A friend of our group gave us her house. You need a lot of hot water, so I think it's better to do it during spring time and outside, in an open-air space. The result could be: more freedom to wet, to dirty and perhaps less labour. In the end everyone was tired but the bag was done. I did only some photos ....that now I show to you.

Ciao! grazie per i commenti che hai lasciato sul mio blog, sarei felice se lo includessi nei tuoi preferiti, posso fare lo stesso anch'io con il tuo?
Mi conosci di vista, ci siamo "incrociate" spesso... l'ultima volta al binario 7 tu uscivi e io entravo...a parte cio',cosa c'è a Rimini a fine mese? sono curiosa.....non sono un'iscritta a Quiltitalia.
A presto!

Your felt bags are wonderful. It looks like you had great fun in the class.
The zipper pencil case was easy to make. I used 10 zips for one pencil case.I put 2 zips next to each other. One zip opening at the top, the other zip opening at the bottom. I used a 3 step zig zag stitch (width 5.0, length 0.3 on my Elna machine). I slightly overlapped the edges of the zips and stitched them together. I did 5 pairs like this and then stitched the 5 pairs together. Then I sewed the circles on the 2 ends, making sure one of the zips was open a little bit so I could turn it inside out. The circles were cut out of some pre-quilted fabric with a diameter of 10 cm.
I have posted another photo on my blog so you can see how the inside looks.
I hope you can you understand my English.
Hi,
thank you for your comment on my blog.
I'll be glad to make a swap with you. What are the rules?
I'm eager to see your postcards on your blog.
A! and the felted bags are great!

Hello
Nice to meet a fellow Dear Jane quilter. Nice to see you at my blog.
I happy to see some english words in your blog for me to read - but I really like your pictures also. It looks like the felting of the bags was fun.
Hi! Thanks so much for your kind comment on my blog.
I love your craft work, and the pictures you share of Italy...that is my dream place to visit one.
Ciao!
I haven't done any felting, but from the pictures, you are right, it would be better to do them outdoors where you could get wet. The bags are beautiful.
my gosh..this work was very hard..but I enjoyed! Now that I know "the secret of felting" I will create lots of pins and bacelets!
Posso dire la mia sul feltro? Non occorre poi così tanta acqua, è solo necessario che tutto il lavoro si ben bagnato ma la quantità non influisce sull'infeltrimento E poi, una brutta notizia: non si può lavorare all'aperto, specialmente nella prima fase, perchè anche un leggerissimo alito di vento fa volare i ciuffetti di lana che vanno ordinatamente disposti.
Sono stata sufficientemente"maestrina"?
