Loved watching anything you do as I always learn something new. What a gem you are in my life even though we're over 2,200 miles away! Sending you SouthWest Sunshine. Thanks KZbin friend for all you time and effort to post your videos. x's lj

[@JeriBellini]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you have been enjoying my videos! 💜

[@kathiekarancz964]

Darn… I was so looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with the fabric! I’m glad we don’t live close by. I would have so many projects going because of you. 👍👍😂🥰🐢

[@JeriBellini]

LOLOLOLOL I like to make Penny circles and I love embroidering on it, like butter! I will come up with and idea and do a video! Meanwhile, go back and look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6e3eKGMjs6SjbM You will see a needle roll that I started with some. 💜

[@kathiekarancz964]

The funny thing is that I started watching you because of a video working with tin. That was you right? I haven’t embroidered in years! Will you be showing us what you will do with the felted wool? Now I will have to add another project to my stained glass, mosaics, fusing, beading…. Darn you! I love watching you. You are so sincere. It’s like you’re in my living room talking to me… thanks Jeri ❤️🐢

@@kathiekarancz964 LOL, I guess I'm going to have to do something with the wool. I didn't expect people would ask that but there has been several requests... OK, OK I'll create something fun! 💜

[@Craftylisa69]

Looking forward to seeing what you use the wool for 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@JeriBellini]

Me too!! LOL I'm having a think at the moment, maybe tomorrow I'll start something! 💜

[@cathywhitney8194]

Wow! We don't have thrift store prices like that anymore around here, but great information about the deconstruction process. Thanks Jeri❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JeriBellini]

You are welcome, We live in Thrift Store heaven! But also look at flea markets if you have those. 💜

[@invisible4445]

Thanks Jeri. Love that info about felting the wool. I wasn’t using that method but I’m going to try it for sure! ❤

[@JeriBellini]

You are so welcome! I'm such an avid thrifter, I get most of my wool this way! 💜

[@user-xr1ub1dj2s]

I’m so grateful for your video. It’s a great idea to save buttons and zipper as well as the fabric.❤

[@JeriBellini]

Absolutely, I save everything!

[@annedarr8362]

A blessing to find you

[@JeriBellini]

And I'm grateful that you did! 💜

[@kathrynborbacs3380]

Loved this video. Thank you!! Bought a bunch of coats & skirts to do just this. However, must check out YT on how to felt without a washing machine (don’t own)!

[@JeriBellini]

Soak in HOT water with soap and agitate with your hands, rinse repeat a few times. Maybe you can dry with a hot blow dryer instead of a dryer. Try it! 💜

[@brendagoulette759]

I have a jacket I'm ripping apart. Its not wool but I love the material for journal covers. ❤

[@JeriBellini]

That sounds wonderful! Have fun with it! 💜

[@lalagamma4452]

Great ideas. My only issue is I don't have a washer or dryer. 😞 “How do we change the world? One random act of kindness at a time.”- Morgan Freeman. I purchased a lovely wedding gown for $1.50. Since it was fall and sat in the shop for a few months they put it on clearance. I'm nervous about cutting it up any suggestions? Huge HUGS! Namesta 🐞🐞🐞

this was very helpful to see - thank you Jeri - i think its been about 10 years since i've been in a thrift shop - do you think its time lol xx

Anche io faccio così, ma lo faccio principalmente con i miei capi stessi o quelli di mio marito o di mia sorella.Tu poi come li usi?sono curiosa di sapere cosa farai in seguito,specialmente con la giacca.Grazie per il tutorial❤👋👋

[@JeriBellini]

Ecco un link dove puoi vedere un po' di quello che faccio con la lana, per quanto riguarda lo smontaggio di altri vestiti, come camicie e pantaloni, li userei nei miei progetti di cucitura lenta. Sto facendo un rotolo con l'ago con la lana e faccio anche dei cerchi. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6e3eKGMjs6SjbM Grazie per la visione! 💜

[@marymcmullen6902]

Hi Jeri. Can you explain to me what is the purpose of felting the wool? Is it preferable to use in stitching projects?

[@JeriBellini]

Felting the wool makes it fuller, fluffier, dense, so much better for stitching. Regular wool is thin and the edges will fray easier. Have you ever accidentally washed a wool sweater and how it shrinks like crazy, the fibers bind up. Hope it makes more sense now. thanks for watching!! 💜
