the cute book makes cute things
Jun. 22nd, 2007 12:34 pmSo I recently got 'The Cute Book - cute and easy-tomake- felt mascot' by Aranzi Aronzo. It is a small-ish hard covered book that looks a little like this:

This book is really fun. There are 19 patterns, none of them that hard - many of them not needing anything more than a needle, glue, felt, some embroidery floss, and stuffing. All of the things you make are T-I-N-Y. I have very limited amount of felt (left over from pre-vegan days, I'm now in search of vegan felt) but I've barely used any considering I've made 2 mascots. Their instructions on how to make a french knot haven't worked, so that is the only thing I need to look outside the book to learn. I've been tracing the patterns onto computer paper rather than copying them, and once I started making their mascots I started coming up with my own ideas. I expect to have a tiny mascot army amassed by next week

scared sheep!!!

really big lizard!!!
