fauxroving
so i gave faux roving a try about a week ago... forgot to take pics before it was in my head. haha.
bad cell pics but you get the idea. i think it turned out okay. the only problem i had was the fleece shrinking and i had to keep restretching it to keep it long.so what do you guys think?
i think i have about 75 DE in there and some fun beads and charms and such

Re: fauxroving
Looks pretty good judging by the pics. can't help with the shrinkage though, perhaps cutting it on the bias would help?

Re: fauxroving
hmm that probably would help a bit....
im not too worried about it though. i really do love how comfy and squishy it is. and i got the fleece on sale as walmart is closing out their fabric department. so it cost me a grand total of two dollars to make theese. hah. brillaint.
if i can find my camera charger, i'll get some better pics up. im hopeless at not loosing everything i own.

Re: fauxroving
Fleece tends to not stay fully stretched out. i have noticed that if you cut thinner strips, the better they stay stretched out. Whenever i wear my fleece falls, I tend to stretch out all the strips before i wear them.

Re: fauxroving
i used 1/2 in to 1 in pieces and the thinner ones did stay streyched better now that you mention it, i tried using thicker pieces and i just felt it was too bulky for my taste. i felt like a stuffed animal. haha.Fleece tends to not stay fully stretched out. i have noticed that if you cut thinner strips, the better they stay stretched out.
