A Peek at My Projects for So Pretty! Felt


I wanted to take some time to share more about my projects for So Pretty! Felt, a gorgeous book containing a collection of felt craft tutorials assembled by Amy Palanjian. If you are looking for some fun summertime craft projects definitely add this book to your list! The projects are ALL fabulous, the pictures pretty, and there are fun-to-read short bios of all the artists who provided projects for the book (believe me when I say I'm in good company here!). 





I had lots of fun creating two tutorials for the book; one for rosette hair pins, and one for carnation brooch pins. I love what author Amy Palanjian had to say about my projects!

"Faith made some of my favorite projects in the book—floral hair pins and a brooch. I’ve made a few of these over the past few months and I just love how they turn out each time."

You can also take a peek at the Hart + Sew blog where Stacy added some personal touches to one of my projects.


For a look at some of the other projects in the book be sure to check out the book trailer. And if you stitch up either of my projects in So Pretty! Felt, I would love to see your photos!

So Pretty! Felt // Craft Book Collaboration


When Amy Palanjian asked me to collaborate on a new craft book, I jumped at the chance. Amy brought together twelve felt artisans from around the world to fill her book, So Pretty! Felt, with twenty-four lovely tutorials all featuring felt. My pre-release copy arrived recently, and I spent a wonderful afternoon paging through the projects and artist bios (not very often that my schedule, or the kids, let me do that!). The book is very reader friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and includes some very helpful sewing term definitions and website links. I'll be sharing more about the book and my projects after So Pretty! Felt releases next month. It is available for pre-order on the Chonicle Books website or on Amazon. If crochet is more your thing be sure to take a peek at the companion book, So Pretty! Crochet.
