Thanks for a great tip. ❤
Felts by Philippa recommended your channel 😃
Love it, I need to learn this craft, thank you.
Love it, looks good enough to devour
Nice and easy you made it!
Saving my life with these
Thank you.
Your line is so pretty and smooth! I often end up punching it "into" the wool and ending up with a short gap. I'm going to go practice now, thank you!
Ohh, I get it, my staple length is too short. Got it!!
Ah, bless you! Thank you! I have this extremely fine, super long staple alpaca hair/wool I got from a fiber festival and I tried using it in the same manner I'd been using rough slivers. Oh my, that didn't work AT ALL. I thought since it was in such a nice sheet I'd go ahead and keep it that way. Bad idea. So few videos really go into detail on this, so I really appreciate the help, now I know where I went wrong and what to try next and I'm so relieved!
So helpful! Thanks x
Thank you so much for sharing,I can't wait to try this.
Lerner here, trying to make a flat piece to make a triangular gnome hat. Instructions with kit no help. Or, would I make a solid shape in a cone form to attach to the felted body?
Thank you
You're welcome
Hey, where do you recommend buying felt from? I’m getting it from hobby craft but it’s £3 for 10g which seems expensive to me
World of Wool is my favourite supplier! 🙂
🤎🤎🤎🤎 this!!!!
Love the cookie cutter for symmetry! My animals were all wonky as I struggle to make two sides or legs the same. This is genius!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so clever, and I love the inspired idea of using a cookie cutter. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is fab, thank you so much for this as l hv loads of those snowballs and wondered if they would work for baubles! ❣️
They are perfect as they are much lighter than using core wool.
Thanks for this video! Im going to try this!!
I hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you, super video
Youre very welcome
What a fantastic tutorial. LOVED IT !! Omg can't believe you used a cookie cutter.. you genius!
Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
I’ve always wondered how everyone got their ribs so perfect … thank you for the tutorial! I can’t wait to try it!
You’re welcome. This is just my method for getting them nice and neat! But it works every time!
Thanks for this informative video!
Brilliant thank you. Xx
yay.. its looking like a sheep 😃
Oh my goodness. I am in the US. Although I heard to get a piece of core wool 15cm long, I measured out 15 inches. That would be a large sheep head! I could not figure out how you wrapped that around your little finger! 😂
Ah yes the confusion of the metric system! Glad you worked it out! :-)
I’m not sure if I’ve added my daily makes to the correct threads. Is it important that they are in the correct thread? Sorry
Don’t worry. I think a few people have got a bit muddled. I’m going to add a post at the end in the challenge group for everyone to add their finished sheep. ;-)
Thank you - one leg down three to go 😀
thanks going to make now.
Brilliant day 1 complete. Thankyou !
Well done Jeanette. Be sure to add a photo to todays video thread in the Facebook group :-)
Thank you, very clear instructions....off to make it now 😀
Thank you Nicola. Xx
Thank you
Thank you for this information.
Thank you for the information.
Thank you Nicola. X
Thank you for this! Great information.
I've learned a lot from this thank you. I loved all of your pieces but particularly the hare, the colouring on the head is gorgeous
Thank you so much for generously sharing this. This is such a brilliant clearly explained tutorial. I can't wait to try it
An amazing tutorial. Thank you. Xx
Great idea on using a diagram I’m new at this and sometimes I get to big of an animal and it looks out of proportion thanks👍
Thank you, very informative and a real help.
Thank you for sharing this lovely tutorial with us Nicola. Much appreciated.
You’re very welcome Annie!
