Say goodbye to boring and hello to bespoke as you customize your wardrobe using the art of needle felting. Discover how felting can not only repair holes and cover stains but can transform your sweaters, denim, flannel, and more into a canvas for self-expression. You’ll learn the art of needle felting and use your new skills to upgrade a garment with vibrant wool roving. Whether you adorn a sweater with a sweet monogram, a denim jacket with colorful polka dots, or a beanie with a tribute to your favorite food—the possibilities are endless!
Please bring with you a garment that you want to customize with needle felting. The felting you add will be permanent, so keep that in mind. This project works great on sweaters, beanies, knit gloves, denim, flannel, canvas tote bags, and more.
If you don’t have a garment, swatches will be provided for practicing the technique.
