Softies - 22 friends to sew knit and crochet
CB!Softies
The Age's Frances Atkinson reviewed the book as follows:-
"Beginning with original, quirky and cute softies, this book will have you threading your needle faster than you can say "slip-stitch". While some patterns in the book call for a sewing machine and quite a bit of expertise, others require only the most basic know-how, patience and enthusiasm. Each pattern is clearly set-out with instructions, templates and information about seam allowances, plus a colour image of the finished toy. Softies also brings together crafty cleverness from around the world. Blossom Bunny, a Japanese-design-inspired rabbit was created by Sarah Bowe from redfeltflower.blogspot.com, Albert Monkey by Fiona Dalton from hopskipjump.typepad.com and Beetle Bug by Carly Schwerdt from neststudio.typepad.com. For crafters looking for a challenge, there's a very groovy-looking crochet pirate from Amy Shimel that comes with 12 pages of instructions. Each and every softie oozes personality but there's plenty of room for interpretation. A handy glossary includes instructions about how to master French knots, back-stitch, slip-stitch and treble crochet. If you're tired of mass-production, here's your chance to create something original."
