| Publisher Description: Designed with the absolute beginner in mind, this book also serves as an excellent refresher course. This accessible guide to the rewarding craft of soft toy making offers 13 easy-to-sew projects for loveable softies. Each project provides step-by-step instructions and clear illustrations, along with the dimensions of the finished toy and the quantity of fabric required. Patterns are drawn on a grid system so the reader can work to any size by following a guide for scaling up or down. Advice is included on stitches, equipment, materials, methods, and techniques. The projects advance progressively through the book from easy to more challenging, with projects designated as beginner, intermediate, or advanced. |
