Not seen it completely yet but do it after this. I have noticed you are improving yourself. Beautiful to see you have gained more self confidence, to mine opinion. I like your jokes😂😂.
Oh my yes! Much improvement. No more fast videos. The camera throws me off sometimes and I draw blanks - but generally the communication and video quality is much better :)
Fabulous! I noticed you didn't use any "Mesh" in your process. Did you only use bubble wrap on the top & bottom with your garment inbetween? If so, then when would you use Meshing and for what purpose? I'm brand new at this amazing ancient art and I am excited to learn!! Thank you!! Gorgeous unique Tank Top!
Oh awesome, I am so excited to hear. Welcome. If you want a lightweight delicate felt top, then life is easier - First lay out your mesh or silk gauze over the resist. Fold it over, then cut the silk to the right shape, fold over the silk or mesh fabric edges. Then use one layer of wool only over top of the silk. This is a fun process and you can watch how I do this in the Nuno-felted scarf video. It is a similar process. The shrinkage amount should also be in that video. Generally, the felt will shrink mostly in the direction it is laid out. So the shrinkage is different when only using one layer of wool, compared to two crosshatched layers. You can create a test piece to measure the approximate shrinkage. I will do another "felt with me" vest video, where I place all kinds of fun colourful decorations on it, using only one layer and silk mesh. :)
@muffsmerino WOW! Thank you so much for your generous teachings and uplifting encouragement! I really need to know someone like you. I'm so happy for you. You even help me solve a small table problem with your amazing idea get a large size piece of wood to temporarily lay on top for those big projects! I truly Thank God I met you. I really hope to be able to follow your directions and learn from you. There's no one like you in New York city! Wish you were here :) 🌻💖🌟
Place in warm water with soap designed for wool. I like to use a tea tree soap or coconut soap. If you use another soap not designed for wool, sometimes due to a chemical reaction, the colour can run out of the fibre. 1. Warm Water soak 2. Soap designed for wool 3. Press and gently move around (too much agitation can shrink and felt the the fibre). 4. Hang to rinse and dry I hope this helps!
@@kachsavage4047 Oh my I missed one of the most important parts! I will weigh the two vests when I’m back in the studio and get back you. Will also pin it in the comments :)
Hi, Thank you for your straight forward instructions. What size is the wood board that you are felting on? My space is limited so this is a great idea. I would love create a garment. But I need to use a pattern that has some extra room and flow across my abdomen area. Lol.
Thank you! I absolutely love your finished product!
Oh thank you! So glad you like it :)

@muffsmerino WOW you are terrific!! I am really looking forward to this!! 🌟THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!
Love this!
What are the washing instructions?
Place in warm water with soap designed for wool. I like to use a tea tree soap or coconut soap. If you use another soap not designed for wool, sometimes due to a chemical reaction, the colour can run out of the fibre.
1. Warm Water soak
2. Soap designed for wool
3. Press and gently move around (too much agitation can shrink and felt the the fibre).
4. Hang to rinse and dry
I hope this helps!
This is beautiful, you're definitely inspiring me to try making more fitted wearables. How much weight of fibre did you use in total for this?

@@muffsmerino thank you so much!
