Wool felt boots making 羊毛氈靴子

 

With cooler days approaching, wool felting is fun to play. I just made a pair of stylish wool felted boots with textures.

天氣漸涼, 我的羊毛狂熱又回來了, 對原羊毛尤甚喜好,

用以做一對自己合穿的靴子, 這個冬天不太冷!

 

On the surface I used some wild fleece locks.

 Intentionally made it a few styles, fold back to make the short boots.

 Put on the wild fleece leg warmers, make it long boots.  My last post of let warmer making.

 To make this pair of boots textures, I used the my eco printed silk scraps inside.

 Outside with Finn wool,and the wild fleece. I can't remember what sort of wool I ordered years ago. It's so soft.  The pair is made with one template and cut into two.  

 A style of short boots

 Fold back to show the inside textures that's the style I wanted.

 I used the shoe block to shape it fit into my size. My first trial of outdoor shoes.  Quite good to work with shoe blocks. 

This winter I'm warm enough

A pair of wool felt boots of three styles.

Baby booties and slippers 寶貝小鞋子

"Come on, follow me, follow my big steps........"

寶寶快高長大,  小腳仔學行, 親手做一雙小鞋子給寶貝踏出第一步,  沒多久不合穿了, 把小鞋子留下是多甜美的留念....

長大些, 再做一對小童室內鞋, 總也可穿上兩年哩 ! 

 Baby grows up and thriving.  For the shoes under two obviously have to change every few months before it wore out.  It's so sweet to make a pair for the baby on it's first step and keep the shoes as a beautiful keepsake.

 I made the booties with wool, that's wet felted.

Tied with shoelace.  Fold down as little shoes 

Tiny booties on my hand.  It's for baby under 18-month, I suppose.

A toddle needs bigger slippers



Slippers made with merino wool, blue as deep sea & skies.  White mulberry silk strings for the sheen of wave. 

Both the little and the big pairs are shaped with one same mould.

The yellow plastic slippers are size 16cm.  Bought it in a chain shop for only US$2, really a good buy.   I made the little booties,  after all the rubbing, stuffed with bubble wraps and finally shaped it inside the plastic slipper.  Bootie size thus smaller than 16cm.

For the toddle's slippers I shaped it over the whole plastic.  So the size is bigger than  16cm 

Both pairs are hand-stitched with anti-slip protector

Mogi, "I don't know what are these for, we don't have any baby or toddler.  Mum just asked me to show you. ~.~"

Mogi, "I know I'm being loved or spoiled I'm a star...... My facial expression are true.  Mum uses quick shooting ........'

Well,  slippers are made to challenging myself .

Time to walk away, until next time.....
