The paper bag class was hiding in plain sight May 28, 2026

You know, ... I noticed that offering these two classes together was a mistake.

I thought that people would enjoy having two projects in one class, especially because they’re made with completely different techniques.

Even though these are not the easiest shapes to create, there are several ways t...

I’m splitting this class into two. Here’s why. May 25, 2026

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I've finally made a decision.

FELTING CUBIC SHAPES has always included two projects: the nested cubes, and the structured “paper bag”. Two very different challenges, united by the idea that felt can also hold a sharp edge.

But what I've noticed ove...

3D felting with a round resist Sep 22, 2025

We’ve started a little tradition in The Dodo Hub: once a month we hop online and felt together. Lately, the challenge has been about the circle. We grab a round resist, and experiment with the techniques from the program.

You can felt anything you’d like to try, as long as you start with that circl...

Before you felt that piece… try this first Aug 19, 2025

Today, I want to talk to you about something that makes felt makers a little bit nervous: the S word. SAMPLES! 

While I know most of us would do anything to avoid making samples before we felt a piece, I’m – once again – going to try to persuade you to make them. 

Now, when we talk about making sa...

Stop looking online in vain for templates for your slippers! Apr 23, 2025

I frequently get emails from felt makers asking me if they can purchase only the patterns for my baby booties. When I taught how to make slippers, I was often asked if I’d sell only the patterns for the slippers.

I opted for never offering the resist patterns, the reason being that I’m for teaching...

What would you like to know about resists for wet felting? Mar 23, 2025

About two years ago, I taught a class called RESISTS MADE EASY – A PROVEN SYSTEM TO DESIGN RESISTS FOR WET FELTING.

It covered how to make resists for shoes, clothes, hats, bags, gloves and vessels in all sorts of shapes.

It was well received and fun to teach. But, next, I started focusing more on...
