Pretty felted needlecase made with vintage silks and embroidery


A pretty felted needlecase to keep all of your needles and pins handy.
 I've made the needlecase out of felt which I handmade using the wet felting method. The white merino wool has additions of Wensleydale curly wool locks and pure silk strands which can be seen clearly on image three.
The design on the front has been made by felting a variety of vintage and antique silk fabrics into the merino wool and then enhancing with machine stitching. French knot hand embroidery using antique silk threads gives even more texture.
The needlecase closes with a vintage pale green ribbon tie for easy access.
 Measures 12cms x 10cms (4.7" x 3.9" ) at the widest points when closed.
When open it is 24cms x 10cms (9.4" x 3.9")

Vintage French fabric in Autumnal colours

A superb piece of vintage French fabric. In very good condition for it's age as the colours are still bright.

This would make a superb cushion/pillow front.

Vintage French fabric with autumnal colouring.

www.etsy.com/shop/feltissimo

I just adore the design on this vintage French fabric. The flowers are superb abd the dark red wine colour makes the flowers jump out at you. This would be superb if it was added to a cushion/pillow front. The fabric is very strong. A great Autumnal colour which could be used also at Christmas.
Now in my 'Feltissimo' etsy shop.


Measures - 51.5cms/20.3" x 26.5cms/10.4"

Vintage Toile de Jouy fabric


Just added this vintage French fabric to my shop.
This is a wonderful piece of French Toile de Jouy. It is gently faded and in good condition apart from some holes along the bottom edge where it had been attached to something. I have not counted the fabric at the bottom in the measurements.

Measures - 46ms/18.12 x 31cms/12.2"

It will make a superb cushion front or the front of a bag. Equally it would look superb framed.
