My exclusive model of nuno felt dresses 我的御用模特兒

Friends asked me what am I up to. I always said hooked with nuno felt. After Vilte's workshop in Truus's studio, I almost addicted every other weekend doing experiment with nuno felt. Have made a few pieces and need a perfect fit to demonstrate . My girl Jasmine Y. is second to none. On a fine day today with hubby we've taken some pictures.

朋友問我最近忙什麼, 我總是說又是 nuno felt. 真的我簡直痴迷去嚐試, 做了的裙子要有尚佳的模特兒為我展示才行, 我女兒 Jasmine 正是我的御用模特兒. 藉著今日假期我們拍了一輯相片.

Who said wool is only for winter and preception is thick ? No, a nuno felt dress can be a summer casual or elegant wear.

一般人感覺羊毛祗做厚暖衣物, 其實 nuno felt 裙子也可以是夏日衣裳.

It' light and just like dancing in the air.
可以是很輕快飄逸的.
This is inspired by Vilte's wedding wear. It can be a fairly lady's little dress.

This piece was a classwork made in Truss's studio with Vilte's instruction.

這一件是我跟Vilte 的堂上作品, 我修收了一點便合適 Jasmine 的身
形, 所以話 nuno felt 不用針不用線就可修改得宜.

I modified it after the workshop to fit my daughter.

Three different styles with different textures.
三款不一樣的設計，頭飾也是 nuno felt.

Merino Nuno Felt Handbag 羊毛 nuno felt 手袋

My colleague J. asked me what craft I’ve done recently. Puzzeled a while.... huum.....ya, still addicted to nuno felt after Vilte's workshop. This bag was just made with the skill of nuno felt. Here comes a set of nuno dress and bag.

See how I made it. I used a plastic resist, put on some small pieces of colorful silk chiffon and merino wool then covered it with a silk chiffon and did the same steps of felting.

(Double click image to enlarge)

I always try to make stuff as much as possible with my own made accessories. The ceramic button, the cross wool & metal strip as well the lining all by myself.

This is my first experiment of a nuno felt handbag. I should have put some more wool between the layer of wool and chiffon patterns that would have made the chiffon edges more “melted look”.
The front and back look (double image for large look).

My belief is the more I practise the better it looks. Will have another go. Nuno felt is fun and amazing. This merino bag with nuno felted flower is a giveaway on my next 100th post, Hope you’d join the fun. Please see the previous post for details and come back.

DIY Bag with Stitch embriodery 如何制作我的刺繡布袋

The day I stumbed into a blog of stitch embriodery I found it lovely, especialy this style which I do not know the origin. It inspired me to make one on a hemp cloth then cut it and sewed on fabric to make a shopping bag. 偶然看到別人的網誌有關刺繡, 特別喜愛這種摟空的風格, 我不知道源自何方. 我在JUSCO $10 買來一塊麻布做點手作.

I do not know much about Embriodery but just done it free. This bag is for own use so don't care about the "content".

一向沒有做過刺繡, 其實刺繡種類繁多, 我祗隨意隨心, 就是這樣繡出一小片, 我車縫在布袋上, 做了這個萬用購物袋!

Lining with pockets

I cut the finished stitch embriodery hemp cloth and sewed it on a fabric.

The upholstery fabric are leftover from my mum. I made use of them for lining pockets. That's eco-friendly.
My mother bought a hemp hat but she doesn't like it as too plain. I just did the stitch embriodery to make it a bit colorful.母親買了這帽子但覺太素, 我便繡上樹木花草加點色彩.
Embriodery is art. If we can make something of it the traditions will be continued. In the bustle and hustle city life how many people would like to do it? I myself find every DIY is an art.
刺繡是工藝也是藝術, 忙碌的都市生活偶爾做點刺繡, 不失
為舒緩心靈手藝.
