sewing

This is a tea cozy that I made for Laurel for xmas. We gave her a cute little beehouse teapot, and so I made this guy to keep her tea warm while she's working in the studio. It's made from a wool sweater that I felted in the washing machine, the little blue parts of the eyes are cashmere.

She thought that it looked like Scott.

I also made this pincushion for her from the same sweater and some vintage fabric.
It feels good to be sewing again, except that my machine really did not enjoy sewing through two thick layers of felted wool.
