Heck, you can even find wool items at garage sales and second hand stores and turn them into lovely accessories. Just felt and sew, and with a little creativity, you’ll have one of a kind felted bags and purses. |

When you choose to purchase handmade clothing, you are buying art. Each piece is carefully handcrafted by a person, not a faceless machine.
