Everything Kits

 Well, I've been having fun with my silks and wools lately, making some smaller, highly embellished pieces. I've come up with a size of prefelt to start with that seems to work in so many ways AND I've included so many different textures that I decided to call these "everything kits". See what you can come up with for them!

The starting size for the prefelt is 10"X16". This size will felt down to about 8"X12", depending on how much silk is on top and how hard the piece is fulled. (the silk causes the prefelt to keep it's shape and shrink less, so if the piece is entirely covered, it will shrink less)

Here are some things I've thought to do with these peices:

    -Make a book jacket for one of the little dupioni covered journals (see photo)

    -Cut the piece lengthwise, needle it together and make a neckwarmer

    -Cut the prefelt in half  lengthwise and make two cuffs (see photo)

    -Make a pouch for your jewelry or cell phone

    -Use the piece as the focal point for a wall hanging, small quilt or make a pillow

    -Stitch or bead all over it! Just for fun!

    - Use it as the flap for a purse

    - Cut the finshed piece into smaller pieces and use them to embellish a jacket

    - Cut the finished piece into smaller pieces and use them to enhance greeting

Whew, that's what I've been thinking of, I am sure you have other ideas! If you would like to buy some of the coordinating dupioni, email me and let me know. It is priced at $10 for an 18" X 54" piece. All kinds of fun!

Oh, the kits contain: prefelt, 4 colors of silk including habotai and gauze for more interesting textures, a silk hankie, a 2"X6" piece of hand dyed velvet, some dupioni for threads and one or more colors of roving. Lots to play with!

    Here are some things I have done with a similar piece:  

    There is enough material here to make two cuffs. (No snaps included). The finished piece the way I felted it looks like this (note -- this piece was on a white background, this kit now contains a green background)

    I sell the dupioni covered journals for $15 -- email me if you would like a journal or just some of the matching dupioni fabric to make what you would like!

    This kit is on a black prefelt with lots of copper, blue greens and red purples. I have a black journal for this one. Surely this will go with things in your closet!

  • Everything Kit -- Rusted

    This kit has my favorite new rusted fabrics. I've made several purses and pouches and my friend Lu made the cutest journal out of one. This kit was very popular in Asheville!

    This one is sort of upscale and contemporary. Also looks good with some coral added -- let me know if you would like some of that color!
