Not at the skill level shown in the photos(WOW).
I started by making rock climbing gear.

I enjoy making quilts from felted (SHRUNK) wool sweaters and coats. Using an old Union Special 39500 serger;ebay $200.

Have also made them from no longer used military uniforms, using an old Singer walking foot, they are hard to sew.

Also, enjoy hand needle felting sometimes called embellishing. And the usual array of requests from/for our grandchildren.

Recently discovered that I could extend the life of a favorite pair of wool socks with a bit of roving, some yarn and felting needles.
