Animaux en feutre
December 13, 2006 Revised ReviewI must apologize, my original review was directed to the Doudous de la ferme book. The items in this book are hand sewn and, may be machine stitched as well. Chinese only with full sized patterns in the book. I really like the animals in this book more than the others. However, like in this DIY series, instructions are written in Chinese only without pictorial diagrams. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$14.39List: US$15.99Save: US$1.60 (10%)Usually ships within 21 daysDecember 13, 2006 Making AnimalsIn this series of "making animals", this book is animals/toys to machine stitch. Cute ideas. Instructions are in Chinese only with full sized patterns. This series of books appears to be in written instructions, again if you don't read Chinese, you will need to know patterns and how to put them together. They are easy enough to make. The completed project pictures are good for a reference to put these stuffed animals together. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Animaux en feutre
December 13, 2006 Making AnimalsThis DIY book has some really cute animals to make. Again, like the books in the series, the instructions are written and not in picture diagrams. These are easy enough, and I think the patterns are marked better that it's easier to put together if you don't read Chinese. Full size patterns included. Very cute, hand held sized animals. The items pictured are machine stitched. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 13, 2006 Making AnimalsThis DIY series was not what I expected. Although the ideas are cute, the instructions are strictly written without picture directions like other books. Chinese only, full size patterns included. Although this book is suppose to be easy, you need to know what the patterns pieces are and follow the actual completed project to put them together. More for the experienced crafter if you don't know how to read Chinese. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

It's nice and comes with several pieces of felt to make the character. The character of the McMug Series is a pig. Perfect for the upcoming Year of the Boar in 2007. I would totally recommend this book especially if your a pig collector or like pigs. Chinese only. Full size patterns included in book. Good pictorial instructions if you can't read Chinese. There are 7 versions of McMug the Pig to make. I'm glad I purchased this set. Wish the other book was still available. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 7, 2006 Small Teddy Bear
I would recommend this book for anyone who loves making Teddy Bears. The tutorial is step by step and includes full size patterns. Japanese only.
Various types of fur was used to make each bear. One bear looks like it's made from felt. You have options as well to use joints or not. Great price for a beginner or pro.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
November 7, 2006 Extra Mini Dolls
These are extremely small dolls. Actual pattern pieces are included. I found the instructions were not as detailed as other Japanese craft books I've purchased. The book is the size of "pocket" type books - small. The projects are machine stitched but can be hand stitched as well. These projects would be alittle difficult for a beginner.
Japanese only. The cover includes pictures of: Ladybug, Bee, Dinosaur, Teddybear, Snow Gnome, frog, and Mushroom.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
