I’ve almost finished my latest sewing project. So rather than finishing it, I decided to pick up by needle felting kit and a big handful of spinning fleece, and make a sheep.
As the fleece was from a Jacob sheep, it only seemed right to make a mini version of the breed. I love how beautifully this fibre felts up. Really satisfying.
That really is the point. So many of my other craft projects take days or months, even years, to complete. It’s just nice to finish something in a couple of hours. To be able to hold the finished piece in your hand on the same day of starting it. A good feeling.
Of course, when I say finish, I don’t actually mean it. There are a few tweaks to do on this fleecey friend. I’m undecided whether to add eyes. I need to go over it a little bit more with the needle too, but she can wait until I finish my sewing project. I’ve itched that particular craft urge now.
The models
What a cutie
Have tons of fleece to use, bags to spin, eventually 😀
Happy days xx
Me too. I seem to have a few (ahem) bags of fleece to spin. Must buckle down. Sometime.
I love this. Presumably you’ve called him Jacob?,
It might be a little unoriginal, but yes, he is Jacob. I have an idea to reapeat this with other fleece. To build up a collection of little sheep. They’ll probably all end up with similar names. 🙂
