Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This was for my textiles II class and it turned out much more interesting than I had thought. The method used was felting with about 2 ounces of acid lime merino wool and a bit of black. I wanted to keep the chords really long on the end to look crazy, yet I always seem to forget just how much my layout will shrink. I have no idea where to wear this and am hoping to figure it out soon!

Awesome! I wasn’t sure if my classmates were just being super sweet or they really thought it was cool- but I trust you people and just need to find something to wear with it. I hope to make another version of this for my final textiles project and will try to take pics along the way and add a “how to” for this. I know it isn’t sewing but it is a very unique way to make some great accessories!
