***Pixie Fairy Felted Skirt***

Pixie Fairy Felted Skirt



My latest felting inspiration was this Pixie Fairy Felted Skirt for my sister-in-law for Christmas. It was my first attempt in blending felting and sewing. While it was challenging creating my own pattern, it was very fun creating this whimsical piece of felted clothing.

Front and back views. I cut out varying size triangle strips of chiffon material, hemmed the edges and then layered the pieces to be sewn onto the inside of the belt.

Natural Wood Button

I attached a natural wood button to the outside of the top of the wet felted belt but actually used a strip of Velcro sewn on the inside to attach the wrap-around skirt, which allowed for variation in sizing.

Sewn on felted vines

I used a zig-zag stitch to attach the wet felted vines with leaves.
