A Gift for Mother

On a shopping expedition in town, on one of her trips to visit, my Mother found a rather glamorous magnifying glass.
Sitting with a cuppa, and enjoying looking at our treasures, Mum mentioned me, maybe, making a felted cover for it. She said when I get around to it, I could send it down to her.
But.... I got an IDEA, and just had to make it that day, before she left.

I made a resist by tracing around the glass, about 3 cm larger all the way around. I used some white fleece, and highlighted the last layer using a variegated fleece. I worked and rubbed it while we had another cuppa. I then put it in the dryer, still wet and with the Lux flakes on it. I checked it for size every 15 min. Once i was happy with the size, a good rinse, and put in the sun to dry. When dry, I cut a buttonhole, and sewed it,  button, and the edge using embroidery floss, and made a cord with same.

My Mother took it home with her 😃
