I have your book, "Complete Feltmaking" - so cool. I haven't made anything from it yet but have a few pages marked. I've just been needle felting and also I did make a wet felted eye glass case. I use those cheap plastic cutting boards for a resist.

Thank you for this really lovely video. I enjoyed watching it sooo much. Don’t understand why it finished so quickly though. 🤣😂 Must have been enjoying it too much. 🤭

Awesome video! Great music... kinda gypsy-esque and whimsical just like your adorable shop! I look forward to my subscription to your channel and trying out some wet felting!

Hello everyone that's been watching my videos and thanks for watching and commenting.

I think we've all established that the music is slightly too loud and a little distracting. I mentioned this to the people that edited them and we all thought it had been taken down sufficiently - but obviously not!

However please all note that these videos cost me a lot of money to make, and that they are on here FREE for you to watch and to support people that want to learn how to felt and make our kits. Unfortunately I can't afford to re-edit the videos with a different sound levels, so I'm afraid it is what it is!

So, I really do love to hear from you all and really appreciate your positive comments, but I would also like it if people stopped jumping on the bandwagon and complaining about the music too! I think we've established that there's an issue and it's quite depressing and upsetting when all I read is negative stuff.
 
Thanks for your understanding and happy Felting! Gillian x :-)

Gorgeous bag!! I was confused why you did two colours and then "magic" when you cut it open. Thanks for sharing. :)

Hi Gillian love your videos. Thank you, they are so informative. If you could help I would be most grateful with this question - when finishing the top of the bag after trimming, as I was gently rubbing the edge, it started fluting. What am I doing wrong?

[Sillytwin]

Great video! I've been wanting to make a pouch bag (sort of like a medicine bag)...If I wanted to make a seamless bag with a flap, what would I do differently?

[JohannesJunkJournalLife]

where can I buy this large amount of wool?

[ahmedemara]

does it have to be 100% wool for wet felting?

[jamkapha]

Fabulous and informative- as everyone has said, the music is incredibly distracting.

I looked at your shop but didn't see the bag kits. Do you not sell those anymore? If not, how can I get the molds for the bags?

[sanjibmanna]
