I started on Thursday afternoon by printing this piece of felt so that it would be nice and dry for Friday and some fun stitching. It is aproximately A3 size.
The next stage on Friday was to finish decorating the surface and this I did by bonding a sheer nylon scarf to the surface
trapping some hot fix Angelina between the layers.
I also bonded some black felt to the reverse to make a nice firm fabric.
Next job was to meander all over the surface of the fabric with some lovely Cotona thread.
And so I ended up with this very firm piece of bonded and embellished felt.
And the reason for all this I hear you ask? Well I have some Christmas present ideas in mind for some of it but for the time being I needed a case for my crazy patchwork stencil/templates - they have sat in polythene bags for far too long!
I hope everyone had a great evening and I look forward to visiting to see what has gone on.
Have a lovely weekend.
Something new for me to try. I've got some Angelina fibres somewhere!

Beautifully creative as always. I couldn't find an instagram button to press - maybe I'm missing it, so sorry couldn't see where it led to for you!
