I felted this vibrant blue sweater a long time ago and used it for the liner of a bright orange felted scarf. But there was still quite a bit left and finding a sweater (or even yarn) in this bright a blue is rare so I used it up! </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><br /> </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYi2_R16PyfetCOi1s8xUEl8hvzQmFrSJx3i6Z2Gxjo3HKHd3jA-O1g1UTM5jlTzEZb7qzENGXVfICh_VdfkgHL9WenT_ZBuFJvi4DNL-kmBaIOhiNlqZW8wyUSPvMpSP8EOzQD_6jc10/s1600-h/blue+felted+scarflette+2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427896765256455842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYi2_R16PyfetCOi1s8xUEl8hvzQmFrSJx3i6Z2Gxjo3HKHd3jA-O1g1UTM5jlTzEZb7qzENGXVfICh_VdfkgHL9WenT_ZBuFJvi4DNL-kmBaIOhiNlqZW8wyUSPvMpSP8EOzQD_6jc10/s320/blue+felted+scarflette+2.jpg" style="WIDTH: 181px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4ufCbGZXbV7K0vx2Ee2PVIn-gfOEwgHmSU4-E2Y3W866Gx-MTIIGmff-S9yZGBPe7o4XFQ6oDYGP5-8oyWpDRVDZDIomYKgRY3JO1vfXStXWH-m3_QpmZwnNnkG9n9C8l5CCiwYB5LkA/s1600-h/blue+felted+scarflette+3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427896761521604994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4ufCbGZXbV7K0vx2Ee2PVIn-gfOEwgHmSU4-E2Y3W866Gx-MTIIGmff-S9yZGBPe7o4XFQ6oDYGP5-8oyWpDRVDZDIomYKgRY3JO1vfXStXWH-m3_QpmZwnNnkG9n9C8l5CCiwYB5LkA/s320/blue+felted+scarflette+3.jpg" style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 291px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><br /></div><div align="center">I cut the sleeve off and cut the ribbed end off as well. I sewed the end shut and turned it right side out. I used my rotary cutter and a ruler to get a perfectly straight strip which I made into the ruffle in the end. To sew it, I inserted it between each seam and pinned it shut. Then sewed it-pretty simple actually. I decided to sew snaps in the inside to close it. It needed something else but with such a bright color I wanted to keep it fairly simple so I sewed on a collection of my grandmother's vintage buttons. Now I have to decide if I'm going to keep it for myself or sell it on etsy...<br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlx5qhyphenhyphen5JpqPB4qfvAa3NIwJwRaORYWaT2a4dFTNoALJh06eweP8uDBFJjVQu-koz4E5-E0msmqhUxmhNh-0R4pdZBiQWQGziEf1hJMhXXPaua4coA9_VvLvgX8_3LzYbX67IjGyt-aMM/s1600-h/blue+felted+scarflette+4.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427896758506073154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlx5qhyphenhyphen5JpqPB4qfvAa3NIwJwRaORYWaT2a4dFTNoALJh06eweP8uDBFJjVQu-koz4E5-E0msmqhUxmhNh-0R4pdZBiQWQGziEf1hJMhXXPaua4coA9_VvLvgX8_3LzYbX67IjGyt-aMM/s320/blue+felted+scarflette+4.jpg" style="WIDTH: 214px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT-XP2V0hh1ZXZ57QnO7LkcGrvBX6YGDd2lXxd1oIwX1YnVI0otFmDDutfiw3hbltuxaN-GVmSxvhE1Oxk0HBzCVPTLO60b9v5IYtqgoFYbn9TUo1y0Z5m6-GHG_BSmmGSGF-gOoyq9UQ/s1600-h/blue+felted+scarflette+5.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427896610364354514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT-XP2V0hh1ZXZ57QnO7LkcGrvBX6YGDd2lXxd1oIwX1YnVI0otFmDDutfiw3hbltuxaN-GVmSxvhE1Oxk0HBzCVPTLO60b9v5IYtqgoFYbn9TUo1y0Z5m6-GHG_BSmmGSGF-gOoyq9UQ/s320/blue+felted+scarflette+5.jpg" style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><br /><br />I have this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32939492">necklace</a> below listed on etsy and it has been sitting there a while.

Her background is actually in political science but she has been crafting for many years. She has also been involved in interior design, photography (as you can tell from her product shots), and theater.
