Felted, maybe

Well the felting isnt going as good as hoped.
Am upcycling some old woollen jumpers.
First one went wonderful and felted very quickly.
Second was very fluffy and unfortunately the bag came undone in the wash...hairy clothes anyone?
Ok so have now decided to use the portable washing machine, maybe slower but much less mess.
I did wonder about picking up one of those hand crank machines I saw on ebay, but will still think about that one.
The felting takes so long to dry and I really do want to get into the sewing of the first phone cover.
I also felted some woollen flowers to attatch to one of the phone covers but got a bit over enthused and the flower has over felted.
Still I may use it as it looks good and a few beads added should do the trick.
No pictures yet. will post when I have some to show.
Am also busy creating my craft swap item but couldnt get any emerald green cotton to use.
Thanks Kylie I will pick up on Monday.
Will also post some picks when that is finished as well.
