If you prefer the simplicity of white, this might be your favorite version. You'll learn how to add a simple decoration as well as a cord to the little shoes.

MODULE #3 - BABY JACKET WITH CURLS

I absolutely love this module! We'll be going through 3 different techniques to felt the baby jacket. In this first part, we'll be using curls to create a faux fur texture and make your baby's jacket beautiful and warm.

MODULE #3 - VARIATION: DECORATED WITH YARN

In this second part, you'll see how you can turn a simple white felt into a cute and trendy baby jacket, just by adding some yarn to it.

MODULE #3 - DOUBLE-SIDED NUNO FELTED WITH LACES

I have to say, I saved the best for last :) This is the most challenging piece in this class. In this part of module 3, you'll have the chance to create a reversible jacket for your baby: on one side marvellously soft extra-fine merino and on the other a luxurious silk layer. An unbeatable gift for a newborn!

My name is Vanda Sousa and I've been wet felting for nearly 2 decades. Being a self-taught felter with about 15 years of teaching experience has lead me to create my own teaching system, based on what I've learnt with experimentation and on the challenges of my students.
