Maybe the cuffs are the bracelets from your April blog post? The ones you posted along with the little purse/bag.

They still look very cute to me! I wonder if needle felting might be more efficient at getting the locks to stick to the hat..., but they might bunch up too much then. That is also an idea, but the problem now is, I can't put the nose between hair and hat, because it is one piece !! I learned again

I agree with Trish, needle felting a little before wet felting may help.
we all keep learning!

I was faced with a new, and unusual challenge: got a commission to make a felted dog coat, for a whippet hound. Here it is: www.ipernity.com/doc/724735/43316626 www.ipernity.com/doc/724735/43316590 The most difficult part was taking measurements and the fitting stage (the dog was jumping all the time). All the rest was rather simple: I drew a resist following the curves of the dog and used two layers of domestic wool with sparse embellishments (bamboo and ramia fiber). I wanted to keep it simple, not with any specific decoration. I hope the coat keeps her warm.

Nada, I saw your dog coat on FB. Very cool. I like the natural colors. How did you connect it around the throat and under the belly? Was it all one piece? Looks like all one piece.

Thank you Ruth. Yes, the coat has been made in one piece. Under the throat I sewed a button and made a button hole. Under the belly there are two straps which hold both sides together and are hidden under the coat.

Great dog coat, Nada, I always feel sorry for greyhounds who don't have a warm furry coat, now this one does!
