I found this
delightful felt bootie pattern on the web awhile ago, but I only got around to trying it yesterday. I used high-quality wool felt that I bought at
Portsmouth Fabric Co. and a variety of notions from my stash. This is a really great stash-busting project, by the way, because you can make dramatic use of tiny amounts of ribbon, a pair of buttons, etc. The red and purple pairs feature leftover JoAnn's ribbon and buttons (the kind that come with store-bought clothes and promptly disappear when you actually need them...), and the green-yellow pair have
ribbon I bought at RetroDepot. On the purple pair, I used the flower embroidery stitch on my Bernina. Somehow I've owned that machine since 1988 yet never used the embroidery functions - what a terrific discovery!
