If you have a jumper that is pure wool that you no longer wear then you can felt it in the washing machine (really hot wash) and the resulting fabric is easy to sew with and won't fray. You can also nip to the charity shop and pick up a jumper fairly cheaply too if you don't have one. Oh and pop a pair of jeans in with it too when you felt it as it will help to agitate the wool.
