I thought I would upload a few pictures of the making of the felted vest, considering I have to do it all at home because it's such a messy process! The first few images show when I have laid the light blue wool tops, I have put up an image which shows how high this lay becomes as you cross hatch the layers. Then there is an image of the left front of the vest which is being scrubbed and rubbed with water, detergent and a scrunched up plastic bag as part of the felting process. Then there are images of the vest on the stand, when I took these images the vest was just pinned together, I have decided that I will overlap the seams and sew them together from the outside and have top stitching detail at the side and shoulder seams. This will mean that the raw edges, which are a feature of the vest will not be hidden in a seam. I am very pleased with the way the edges in particular have turned out, I love how the blue layer has squashed from underneath and is peeking out at the edges of the vest.
