Take your wet felting skills to the next level and get ready to wet felt your own clothing! In this free video tutorial on nuno felting, Charity Van Der Meer will help you control shrinkage with your fiber layout. Learning this will help you wet felting clothing and dresses that fit you well and look fantastic!
Creating samples is essential for exploring and understanding how the orientation of wool fibers can influence the shape achieved in the felting process. Working with samples provides valuable insights into the qualities of wool and the felting process itself. Through this practice, you can gain a deeper understanding of various types of wool and their unique characteristics.
In this tutorial, the focus will be on investigating how the arrangement of wool fibers in different directions can impact the shape of the final garment.
There is more to learn from Charity in our online school - she has courses for wet felting a dress, a long skirt, for dying and designing your own tunic + dress, and this fall she is sharing a new course for wet felting a jacket that does not require sewing! This video tutorial is a great primer for any class on wet felting wearables with Charity.
