Autumn Winter Courses

 Hi felties, well after the last courses post at the Boutique I thought I would throw the spotlight on some of our feltastic day courses, held at Hobbycraft Tamworth. We have a fantastic range of courses suitable for all abilities and without need for sewing, stitching, knitting or crochet, this is definitely suitable for any skill level.

Take a look at our courses schedule to see our mouth watering range of course types and samples, but for now I will leave you with a few taster photos!

But for now... Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep Felting!

Glorously Glorious Hand Felted Slippers made by Katherine on a lovely felt making day

Well hello and welcome lovely makers, creators and all round lovely people, today I have a very special share with you... I want to share a pair of hand felted slippers made by the lovely Katherine on a recent Tigerlily Makes felt slipper course.

Katherine has recently found a love of felting so has already enjoyed some of the benefits at home, but nonetheless wanted to give the art of felted slippers ago. As our slipper courses are very popular, I was in the position of getting extra requests for the course, so I decided to run a private slipper course from my home in the midlands. There were just 4 of us including myself and it was a brilliant day of lovely felting with wonderful company and beautifully finished slippers. 

We had lots of my finished slipper samples on display for people to look at for inspiration, colour combinations and just general shapes so you can imagine the fun we had when we were all trying to decide shapes, finishing embellishments and colour combinations!

I have blogged previously about Shelly's and Sally's slippers, but now I can share with you the finished slippers by Katherine. Katherine is an amazing woman, she has a full time job, carer to hubby, good friend and all round crafty person. Katherine also suffers from joint problems that can be really painful and sometimes it can take a while for Katherine to finish her projects, but finish them she does and with great style.

So below is Katherine's finished pair, lovely colour combinations were chosen and Katherine went for one of my favourite styles the dolly shoe style, she then finished with some handmade flowers that were available to take with her on the day and accompanied them with this beautiful felted leaf duo that she made at home, which I think compliment the slippers beautifully. I have tended to add leaf detail to nearly every one of my felted projects and after seeing Katherine's leaves... I may well just have to take a leaf out of Katherine's book (if you pardon the pun) and add some leaf type detail to a pair of my slippers. But just take a look at these beauties for yourself.

But for now keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!

Button it Buttons in perfect Partnership with Tigerlily Makes Felt Projects...

Hello and a very warm welcome to you all on this second blog post of the day, I just wanted to share a little follow up post to the one directly below this one. If you have taken a read of the post below you will know that I just adore Button It Buttons, so I thought I would share a few pics of them actually on my felted slippers.

These are the types of slippers that we make on our felt slipper course and they are beautifully finished with Button it Buttons. In fact there are so many different buttons to choose from and so many projects to be adorned with them that you won't be disappointed.

But for now keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting and of course buttoning up!

Spot light on our slipper courses :)

Are slipper course have been growing in demand since the launch of my slipper designs, the fact that this beautiful ruby slippers can be really worn and are incredibly comfortable and warm is really appealing. They can can be made in a whole variety of styles and colours and are just adorable to have perfectly poised in situ.

Our slippers are also becoming popular with our brides to be and I have actually made a number of pairs for real life brides, hens are choosing to come on the courses so that they can make their very own unique and handmade by them pair.

Course last a day, cost includes all materials including a pair of slipper lasts in your size that you get to keep and re-use again. We also have lots of fun, drink tea and eat lots of cake. for more info on our feltastic slipper course just head over to our slipper course page :)
