Make Your Own Animal Friends

Doll-making can be simple and spontaneous, or it can be very detailed and even, to be honest, sort of fiddly. There are endless approaches to doll-making, from the basic to the complicated, each with its own joys and challenges. This book will walk you through the first steps from imagining a design to showing you how to add personality to your animal characters. Featuring patterns for a bunny, cat, dog, bear, monkey, fox, kitten, and mouse – stitch up your own menagerie of fabric friends to gift or keep. The projects will increase with difficulty as you make your way through the variety of skills, approaches, and methods covered. There will also be a mix-and-match component that will give you the option to personalize your own characters as well as a basic wardrobe with simple ideas for cute clothing to accessorize your makes.
