I reviewed this book:Fun Felt Crafts by Tina Skinner is a fabulous book for those of us that love felting. The pages are filled with clever ideas on how to recycle old or used woolens, as Tina points out in the history of wool crafts. Homemakers have been using left over or outdated wool clothing and recreating these into fashionable wearables for their families. I recall my mother telling the story about a coat and showing me pictures of this adorable coat that was made for her out of the wool lining of a worn out man’s overcoat. The lining was a brown and cream plaid and the matching bonnet that matched the new coat. There was a fur band around the bonnet and a fur muff was also created. This book will show you just how to recycle wools and turn them into amazing and useful home décor items and wearables.
