I was supposed to be productive last weekend.
Having set aside a whole day to tidy (and as a reward for tidying, craft), instead, I found it impossible to tear myself away from my advance copy of Felt Sew Good by my friend Christine Leech!
You may remember Christine’s brilliance in the forms of the books Everything Alice and Everything Oz, her showing you how to make the cutesy coolest hand puppets (here), her beautiful blog SewYeah, or even from just a few weeks ago where she let me share her free Easter printables (that I must declare are not just for Easter).
Anyway, after months of hearing snippets about it and seeing the occasional snapshot, the lovely people at Quadrille chucked a copy my way so I could sing my little heart out about it in time for the launch – which is TODAY – so soak it up!
This jam-packed book, part of Quadrille’s Simple Makes series, is the paper home of 33 projects made with one of the funnest fabrics of the craftosphere. Felt has so many loveable characteristics and Christine’s book brings out the absolute best in our fuzzy friend.
And the projects, shot lovingly by Keiko Oikawa, range from the sophisticated
to the downright adorable
and the book kicks off with all the stitches you need to know to make these projects perfectly,
and ends with all of the patterns for you to copy and cut. Beautiful and generous!
Look for it from today in bookstores that are worth their shizzle, or buy it online now if you want to set yourself up for hours of felted fun.
