This is my first project for my Wardrobe Refashion challenge. It is a jacket that I decided to needle felt. I made this jacket 6-7 years ago, was never happy with it, but couldn't bring myself to give up on it and cut it up for something else. I'm so glad I saved it.
In the first picture, I was just starting on the one side and had finished a fair amount on the other. I had started with wool roving but wasn't happy with the way it was coming out so I decided to felt yarn in winding patterns around where the yoke would be. Then I went back and filled in with roving. I finished by filling in gaps with a little more yarn on top.
Here's a close up of where I am now.
I'll post a picture of the whole jacket at the Wardrobe Refashion site as soon as I figure out how to turn the photo around-it's the wrong direction again.
