Felting Soft Hats - The Beret
Make Soft, Luxurious Felt Berets That Drape Beautifully
Discover the simple techniques I use to felt flexible, elegant berets you’ll love to wear — and learn how to apply them to future wet felting projects.
ENROLL today!Have you ever had the experience of trying everything you know about wet felting, from fine wool to fine layout, only to find that your beret turned out too stiff… again?
Pretty frustrating, right?
I know. I’ve been there too! For years, I made berets that turned out too stiff, no matter how thinly I laid my wool. Even with the softest merino, they never draped the way I wanted.
Â
After much experimenting with wool, viscose, and different layouts, I finally found the solution to making berets that are soft, flexible, and beautifully wearable.
And that’s what I’m sharing with you in this class, so you can:
- Create berets that drape gracefully instead of standing stiff
- Work confidently with viscose to add flexibility and luxury to your felt
- Master felt density, a game-changing concept that improves all your projects
- Combine colors to design bold, striking, and unique pieces
By the end of this course, you’ll not only know how to make berets in any size you want. You’ll also have skills you can carry into all your future felting.
Felting Soft Hats – The Beret
is a step-by-step (pre-recorded) online course designed to help you go beyond stiff felt and create wearable art that feels as good as it looks.
In this class, you’ll learn:
- The exact wool–viscose ratios and layouts I use for flexible results
- How to control sizing precisely (without cutting into your felt!)
- How understanding felt density can greatly improve your felt
- How to elevate your work with stunning color combinations
Plus, I’ve included technical bonuses to help you strengthen your foundation and troubleshoot common struggles.
I’ve spent years felting berets and trying to get them to be soft and wearable. Along the way, I tested materials, methods, and fiber ratios until I found what I was looking for.
This course distills those experiments, based on trial and error, into a clear, practical system that you can easily follow at home, without the frustration of wasted wool or disappointing results.

What's in the class?
MODULE #1 - INTRODUCTION
In this module we go through how the course works and the supplies needed. Included is a list of the recommended online suppliers all over the globe.


MODULE #2 -Â THE CLASSIC FRENCH BERET
The classic French beret is soft, yet it still has a certain firmness to it. So, it needs a layout that gives it the correct elasticity and malleability, but some density as well.
MODULE #3 - THE SOFTER PAINTER'S BERET
The softer Painter's beret needs more drape and elasticity. So, the layout of both the merino and the viscose has to be the right one to achieve those qualities.

Hi! My name is Vanda Sousa and I've been wet felting for over 2 decades now.
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.
I can't wait to have you join us and to help you in your journey towards becoming a more confident and independent felt maker.
