Presale Christmas Offer £150 (Full price £250)
starts on 30th January 2026
This in-depth online course will guide you through every step of designing and felting a custom vest or waistcoat. You’ll learn how to take accurate measurements, design your surface layout, calculate shrinkage, create a reliable template, lay out wool and decor, and felt using methods that preserve your design beautifully.
This is not just a project.
It’s a repeatable method you will use again and again.
Feltmakers ready to move into garments
Creatives who want a guided process with support
Anyone who dreams of wearable art but worries “I might do it wrong”
People who love slow, mindful craft and learning new techniques
Busy women who need structure and step-by-step guidance
No previous garment experience is needed — just basic wet felting skills.
By the end of the course, you will confidently:
Take and interpret body measurements for a vest
Design your surface concept and balance décor
Calculate shrinkage based on your choice of materials and technique
Create a personalised template
Prepare fibres, fabrics, and decorative elements
Lay out decor on both sides
Use felting methods that protect décor from being lost
Felt, full, shape, and finish the vest professionally

You’ll finish with a wearable, artistic vest you can proudly show or sell.

The attached document is an invitation to play. It offers thoughts, questions, and gentle prompts to help you imagine your vest—its shape, its surface, and the story it wants to tell.
I warmly encourage you to begin with a simpler design and let complexity come later, with your next vest. Vest-making has a way of sneaking into your heart. I hope you’ll love it as much as I do, and that soon your friends will be wrapped in warmth, wool, and your one-of-a-kind designs.
You’ll find a few small exercises to loosen ideas and help your design take shape. Next, we’ll move into sampling and translating your chosen surface design into felt. This stage is where plans become clear, shrinkage is confirmed, and your design truly settles into itself.
