“toys to sew” book
Here’s another one of my favorite books to giveaway- toys to sew: dozens of patterns for dolls, animals, doll clothes and accessories by Claire Garland. This is one of my favorites because of the easy projects and a chapter dedicated to FELT critters!
Claire shows you how to make a simple ragdoll and some simple clothing for her. She also offers variations of the basic doll, there is a ballerina, angel, pirate and a boy. She includes templates for clothing as well.
Claire also has directions and patterns for various animals: elephant, crocodile, turtle, bear, a pull-along elephant, sock dog, monkey, tiger and puppy.
The sewing with felt chapter has a lot of fun critters. She has directions for felt dinosaurs, dino egg bag,
hobby horse, cat and mouse skittles game,
bears, a retro tea set, and these super cute felt houses!

Today is my oldest son’s birthday. So he got away with reading over my shoulder while I was at the computer, eating breakfast. When he saw the images of toys in this post he squeed – he literally let out a noise that sounded like this: squee! And then he made me promise to find this book at the library and let him roam my stash of fabrics.
Thank you for inspiring a seven-year-old boy today. (:
