Needle Felt on Your Clothing for Beginners

Learn how to needle felt on your clothing! You can patch holes or cover stains, making your clothing new again. This technique works well with jeans, corduroy, linen, sweaters, micro fleece jackets, and open weave fabrics, however it won't work with t-shirt material or synthetics that are stretchy. Feel free to bring multiple pieces to try in case your first choice doesn't work well.

You will use stencils and heat erasable pen to create designs and add wool colors like a paint by number. This is very beginner friendly and requires no drawing skills. You can go thrifting for clothing you want to add designs to!
