Sewing Tiny Toys
Tiny toys--many only 3" tall--fit nicely in pockets and children's hands, and they are easily carried about in a plastic bag while still being worked on. Hall, the author of 11 previous needlecraft books, including Soft Sculpture, here creates a menagerie of fetching animals created from scraps of felt, faux fur, beads, and other easily obtained craft materials. Included are full-size patterns and step-by-step instructions for sewing (by hand or machine) 52 toys from dogs and ponies to salamanders to a fanciful dragon, along with information on designing and embellishing these tiny toys. A good choice for all public library crafts collections.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
