It is available to purchase, and instantly download, from our Etsy shop for £9.99 (plus applicable tax depending on where you are in the world!)
You'll be able to make these bowls even if you've never made felt before and even if you're not confident with a sewing machine because everything you need to know is explained step-by-step in the project instructions and is supported with the sections:
'Getting Started with Free Motion Machine Stitching' in the main PDF, and
'How to Make Flat Felt - a simple guide to everything you need to know' in the separate companion pdf that comes with Handmade Felt and Stitch Bowls.
You can adapt these projects, using your own ideas, designs and colours, to make many unique and beautiful bowls, and if you make and sell handmade goods, then you are free to sell anything you make using these tutorials, even if the items are identical to those pictured in the PDF.
The companion PDF, 'How to Make Flat Felt - a simple guide to everything you need to know' contains our standard ‘Basic Info & Techniques’ section that is included with all rosiepink felting pdfs 2013 and onwards, plus a detailed flat felt tutorial and a useful glossary.
