Tiny Felt Cuties & Creatures: A Step-by-Step Guide to Handcrafting More Than 12 Felt Miniatures—No Machine Required

This guide to felt sewing offers instructions on creating miniature toys, gifts, and keepsakes that can be stand-alones, a set, or a tiny world of items. Self-taught fiber artist Iris gives detailed steps and high-definition pictures for each critter, house, and doll. While it’s written for beginners, readers may find that even a little textile crafting knowledge of basic embroidery and introductory sewing stitches will help, as not all basic sewing/embroidery steps are as detailed as the patterns that appear later in the book. Specific types of felt, pipe cleaners, and snaps are not listed in the tools and materials section either, so a quick read through the book before starting is essential for organized crafting. All the materials, however, are relatively easy and affordable for most readers to purchase, even with inflation concerns. After the first project, the repetition of ideas and jargon for each pattern helps readers grasp the foundational steps.
