Sweater Mittens

These mittens were made from unwanted wool sweaters that were felted (washed in hot water and the fibers were shrunk), cut up and pieced into the warmest mittens ever.  The linings were made from micro fleece.  The pattern was from this site https://makeanddocrew.com/make-a-sweater-into-mittens/

Felt Christmas Ornament

The Lydia's group at Peace Lutheran Church is always looking for fun crafts for their annual Boutique.  A stack of felt was donated so in looking for an idea to use it, I found a pattern from this blog

Downloaded the free templates and made this.

I traced the templates onto freezer paper, ironed them onto the felt and cut them out.  I used adhesive spray to hold pieces in place while I did a blanket stitch around each piece.  French knots for eyes.
