Oh thank you so much, that’s so nice to hear. And guess what? That mend has lasted all these years! I’d love to see your needle felted patch if you feel like sharing. Happy felting 🙂

Yours is by far the best (and also the cutest!!) I’m going to try it (:

Thank you for taking the time to come back to this old post and let me know! I'm so thrilled you could use this tutorial – your Canadiana hot water bottle cover sounds too cute! But you tease me anytime you mentioned your home or projects, because you know I always want to see, lol! What can I do to convince you to join Instagram??? 😀

I felted an old wool sweater to make a hot water bottle cover for my son. I thought it would be cute with a heart felted on it. But I decided a red maple leaf would be well suited to my son, who loves anything Canadian. It turned out amazingly well. I wasn't sure how well the points of the leaf would felt but it worked great with well defined lines. Thanks for the instructions, I would never have figured out how to do this otherwise.

It's really personal preference, but I think a design would look good anywhere. A hole in the the sleeve is begging for a heart (hear on my sleeve??). I myself would be inclined to do a mod take on flowers, and have the vines stretch out a bit so they look randomly placed and sprawling. You can also do a pattern or design elsewhere (not just a hole) to make it look more intentional. Like a row of some shape across the back (conveniently covering up the hole as well). Or, do polka dots randomly on the whole sweater (covering the holes).

Have any ideas my hole is midway up forearm & I have another in the back. Any suggestions appreciated

You have a fox sweater? Awesome! Maybe for our next crafting session I'll bring my fox cookie cutter, lol. Border guards will scan my suitcase and be like, "what the hell does someone need cookies cutters for on vacation??? And what is that puffy wooly stuff?"

Even though I already have one…you can never have too many.
