Embellished Nuno Jacket- Part 2 of 3

The pre-felt pieces, drying.


                                                     One jacket sleeve.



                                     The front of the jacket (still in the pre-felt stage)...



                                                            ...and the back.



                                                      The rectangular pre-felt...



                                         ...with the collar in place for basting.       



                                                 With a large-eyed needle...



                                              ...and lengths of ribbon yarn...   



                                                  ...a simple design is basted...   



                                               ...onto each pre-felt sleeve.



                                         Sections of leftover felt from this project...

                                              ...are added to the jacket front...



                                  ...and wisps of wool roving make a felted fringe.



                                   I know that I promised you finished felt today...

                  ...but I hope you'll be satisfied with lots of embellishment, instead. :)

                                   Next time: the long-awaited 'felty transformation'...

                                     ...and photos of the finished jacket!

It will be wonderfully colourful - and as easy to identify as my Circles Skirt!

Always find your creation so inspiring. The bags, purses and the coats. The "mosaic" coat is colorful. I can't wait to see the finished one nest.

Terriea-Thanks! This is the first of my felted garments that I actually wear! :)

The ribbon yarn basting stitch up the sleeves is gorgeous!

Deborah--That ribbon trick would be great for a bag, no?!?
