Book Reviews of Fleecie Pets: Easy-to-Make Cuddly Animal Friends

Book Review: Great book for absolute beginners and those who teach them!
Summary: 5 Stars

My 5-year old grandson picked this one out when we were browsing the books at our local fabric store. He REALLY wanted to make one of those pets - an orange and white kitty. He couldn't do the machine sewing but he watched every step and took it all in. He did insist on stuffing the whole thing himself - as did his 4-year old sister who requested a pink kitty. My 8-year old granddaugter and 9-year old nieces and nephew all participated in making their own - some in the sewing, cutting, tracing, some in just the stuffing. Everyone now has a critter ready to go. We will make clothes for them at Grammy Camp this year. This has been the perfect project to get them really excited about sewing. The pattern is very adaptable. I made mine a little wider because my grandson wanted a FAT cat. We found we liked well used fleece (Goodwill or outgrown) better than new fleece for texture - even swiped one of Grampy's old fleece scarves and promised to make him a new one at camp.

Summary of Fleecie Pets: Easy-to-Make Cuddly Animal Friends

Need a little love? Something to cuddle up with on those days when it seems like humanity has turned its back on you? Then you need Fleecie Pets. Make twelve adorable stuffed-toy animals using soft, soothing fleece fabric. The ten-inch-tall pets are quick, easy, and inexpensive to make—and they require no food, no water, nothing more than the most basic sewing skills, since they’re all made with a simple two-piece pattern. Each huggable pet also has its own special outfit: Squealy the Pig wears a bikini, Rumble the Bear is seen around town in overalls, and Leapy the Frog is ready for any weather in a yellow raincoat. Step-by-step photos guide readers through the entire process of making each pet and its outfit. Instructions on how to make a variety of stylish accessories—a poncho, hats, mittens, scarves, even jewelry—ensure that each pet will be well dressed for any occasion. Want more friends…in different sizes? Colors? Shapes? The Fleecie Pet Workshop section explains how to customize pets to make replicas of real animals, to create other species, or to build a whole family of pets in different sizes. Beginners and even kids will have a whole herd of new friends sewn up in no time!
