My Eclectic Mess » Product of the Week http://myeclecticmess.com/blog Diverse Crafts for a Diverse World Fri, 11 May 2012 22:58:41 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Do the Wooly Boolly! http://myeclecticmess.com/blog/2008/12/do-the-wooly-boolly/ http://myeclecticmess.com/blog/2008/12/do-the-wooly-boolly/#comments Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:50:01 +0000 beth http://myeclecticmess.com/blog/?p=542 Wool Felt Fat Quarters 
If I had to list my Top Ten craft materials wool felt would definitely be in the Top 5. (Hmmm, maybe I will think on this and actually make a top ten list…)
There is just so much to love about real 100% wool felt (or the 80/20 stuff if you just can’t find or afford the 100% stuff).

  • The rich colors – no neon-not-found-nature-colors here!
  • Ease of use – no fraying edges to be concerned with, just cut and sew.
  • Tactile qualities – It just feels so real and warm.
  • Versatility – I’ve made dolls, quilts, ornaments, coin purses, embellishments and more with it. Definitely wins the “favorite surface to embroider on” award.
  • Sustainability – The “green factor” can’t be denied. It comes from a natural, renewable source. If you can find natural, plant-dyed felt you are really full of win. (And if you find a wholesale supplier of such please let me know. I’ve been looking and can’t find one!)

    • Felt Charm Packs 
    Last week my shipment of wool felt packs arrived. The fat quarter bundle (7-22″x18″ cuts) is $41.99 and the Charm Pack (36-5×5″ squares) is $21.99.

    This week’s Product of the Week is Sublime Stitching!

    Jenny Hart turned traditional embroidery on its head with the introduction of her Sublime Stitching patterns and book.

    I carry a large selection of her iron-on transfers in addition to her book that has 100s of unique and reusable designs and complete instructions for the first time stitcher. I also carry her transfer paper that can transfer designs onto dark fabrics and her very special T-shirt stabilizer. If you’ve ever tried to embroider on stretchy knits before you’ll appreciate this nifty new product.

    For this week only (May 13 – 17) you can take 20% off the price of any Sublime Stitching product in the store. Simply mention that you saw them featured on the blog.
