Feltabulous!


So I've been meaning to make these for a while, I found the pattern and instructions on the Martha Stewart site...too much crafty goodness there, I get into a panic when I search it because I can't possibly think when I'll have enough time to fit everything that I want to do in! One step at a time though, (pardon the pun!), so I have started with the felted booties as an addition to my gift for Tilly. I'm relatively pleased with how they turned out, they could be neater and slightly better shaped but I think that will take some practice and some tweaking of the making up process, in the meantime I think they will perhaps make MummyKitty cry tomorrow (not my intention, I only intend to impart happiness on others, but MK will still be full of hormonal type emotions and crying is probably inevitable!)


I added some stitched detailing courtesy of my lovely Pfaff Creative 7570, I am in love with this machine, it can do so much!


...and I found this lovely printed ribbon in my local craft shop, Dorrie Doodle, and couldn't resist it. It has found it's way into nearly every part of Miss Tilly's pressi so far! If you can't quite make it out it says "sweet baby girl" in an old typewrite font along the ribbon, too cute!


...and this was what happened to felted bootie mach1. I thought the size of pattern I had printed may be slightly on the small side, and despite reassurances from my mother and my friend, it was indeed teeny-tiny! So it has become an adornment on the gift bag! Waste not want not...
