| When I was at the market last tuesday, I found an amazing bargain: 7,5 meters (8 yards) of 100% wool for only 1 euro! I was looking for some muslin fabric when I noticed the smell of wet sheep coming off this fabric. The seller had had heavy rains the day before, and he had no time to dry it. The woman next to me was green with envy she didn't spot it first. I won't use this for muslins obviously, so now all I need is some ideas what to do with it. It's a bit roughly woven, and it has broad stripes woven into it. Do you have any suggestions? |  |

I love when this happens! Mayve you could make a coat with this wool?
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been thinking of a jacket myself. I think I'll try it out in a skirt first.
ReplyDeleteI would make jacket in Alexander Wang style. Something inspired by this creation http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/slideshow/S2011RTW-AWANG?event=show2182&designer=design_house1217&trend=&iphoto=1#slide=12
ReplyDeleteThat looks interesting! I will go for a normal jacket first participating in a sew-a-long.
ReplyDeleteYou're creations keep on looking better and better :-) you could try felt a small part of the wool by washing it too hot with a bit of soap. The thick wool felt would be perfect non-fraying material for a bag. Just a thought
ReplyDeleteThere's a 'to' needed in the first sentence, try to felt a part of the wool :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks :D
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's suitable for felting, but I have so much of it I might as well try it anyway!
