This is a project I started because I“m holding a competition for my NZ Heavenly Wools fans.

The idea is to take an old garment or item made of natural fibre and remake it.

I’m blogging on it as I go at my website http://www.heavenlywools.co.nz/blog.html

Nearly done! 11/12/2011.

Made some felt buttons and sewed them on. Done! Now to take some photos I will need a thinnner person.

Laura looks terrific - and that’s a wonder because it was swelteringly hot when I took the photos! Seeing the outfit actually fits her, I think it might be in her pillowcase later this month. She loved the hat and mitts particularly. I was surprised how many people liked the mitts as they are - I prefer mine to have little individual fingers but most people said they preferred this style.
Very happy with this projct - went almost without a hitch!
