The Salvation Army fund raiser - vouchers were given to participants to buy from the Salvation Army stores and transform what they bought to raise funds at an auction to sell these treasures.
I bought an old wool sweater that had gone through the wash..not completely shrunk. I washed it again and found a few holes. I was going to line it with a cotton T shirt and make a jacket but, because of the small holes, decided against it. The following photos of my transformation of the sweater.

I felted this sweater by washing twice and drying in a hot dryer. |
