I am going to try to make an easter bunny softie for K as they are Easter-ish colours. First time I have felted a thrifted sweater. I've taken some photo's of the felting process and will take some more when I make the bunny. I'll put them on my blog to show you how it turns out. Yours are fantastic and I LOVE the idea of making a 'creature' from your kids drawings. Super cool idea! Did you, or your family, felt the sweaters before starting?
