Apologies to my readers, I just now (Tuesday, 10AM) realized this post didn't publish yesterday.
For today's textile project, I had to do something quick because I didn't have a lot of time over the weekend to work on it. So I pulled out my bag of felt scraps and found some pieces that were about a half inch wide and 8 inches long. I decided to do a bit of weaving, which isn't easy with felt since it doesn't slide well. I mounted my pieces on a 2" square of cardboard, wrapped the ends around to glue them on the back and glued a 1,5" square of felt to finish the back. Since one of the sides was a little loose, I used it to pull a piece of colourful string through it to turn this little gem into a necklace. I could also turn it into a brooch but I wanted something different for now.

Pour mon projet textile d'aujourd'hui, je devais faire quelque chose de rapide parce que je n'ai pas eu beaucoup de temps pendant la fin de semaine pour travailler dessus. Alors, j'ai sorti mon sac de retailles de feutrine et j'ai trouvé des morceaux mesurants environ 1,25cm de large par 20,3cm de long. J'ai décidé de faire un peu de tressage, ce qui n'est pas facile avec la feutrine parce qu'elle ne glisse pas bien. J'ai monté mes morceaux sur un carré de carton mesurant 5cm, j'ai replié les bouts vers l'arrière pour les coller et j'ai collé un carré de feutrine de 3,75cm pour finir le dos. Comme un des côtés était moins serré, je m'en suis servit pour y enfiler une longueur de cordon coloré et transformer ce petit bijou en collier. J'aurais pu le transformer en épinglette mais je voulais quelque chose de différent pour l'instant.
