Working More With Felt

I'd put off working with felt for a long time since it seemed too flimsy and, frankly, too 'cheap craft project' stuff.  It also didn't hold up well with cat claws for cat toys, but lately I've found it does have some good uses, especially the thicker types of felt.

My baby griffens needed wings that would be stiffer than polar fleece allowed.  I tried felt doubled up, sewn as a range of feathers on one piece, and added a counter sewn color at the base. When the base was stuffed they stood up perfectly.  I think I'm going to be making more use of felt in the future.  It's still decently priced by the yard (I refuse to buy those squares) and comes in a range of color.
