Applying merino roving...
...to one-half of a piece of purple silk organza...
...and wetting it out with soapy water.
The 'naked' silk is then folded over the wool...
...(to encase it)...
...and wetted out and rolled for a short time...
...to create a nuno pre-felt 'sandwich'.
Once dry...
...the pre-felt is machine quilted...
...in a decorative manner...
...both to hold the layers together during felting...
...and just to look pretty! :)
Next time: I fashion an embellished pocket.
