The tutorial ::
Felt Rosette Pillow
Step-by-step Instructions
1. cut circles
2. fold them twice and secure each rosette with two stitches near the center circle
3.Attach each rosette with a few stitches onto the pillow top. Line the ruffled flowers up, not too close, not too dense. You’re done when you’ve covered the entire front of your felt pillow.
4. Attach the pillow back to the front, leaving an opening for filling. Consider kapok for the reasons spelled out here. Hand sew the closure with a few push pins, or if you are making this in white and want to wash it frequently, add a zipper at the pillow back.

I would like to start working with felt. Could you recommend sources for nice quality wool felt, or suggest alternatives? I’ve seen some products advertised as ‘wool felt’ that have only 30% wool content. What wool content do you recommend?
Many thanks. Love the look of this pillow!
