Now onto The Sweater Surgery
How to Make New Things from Old Sweaters 

make and take project from 3:30-4:30 pm.

You can come by and make a needle felted ornament.

Below are the patterns that I used to make the ones in the picture. The house pattern is from Angela's book In This House

And these are patterns I whipped up special just for the holidays.

Click on the images to download.

I had so much fun making these. I put all the ornaments I made on the same tree but I think I will make more and divide them up by color family or theme, not sure yet. I just wanted to go crazy with all the different colors and patterns of sweaters I had.

I hope you can come by and make one and pick up a signed copy of
