    About this ebook

    “A darling array of characters to create out of wool felt, cotton fabrics, embroidery floss and stuffing . . . the little people make wonderful gifts.”—Small Town Living
     
    An award-winning picture book author and illustrator, “Samantha [aka mummysam] has turned her quirky and clever drawings into the dearest of little felt playthings/art objects” (whipup.net). You’ll love these charming softies with European flair. Make your own story with uptown sophisticates or down country folks. Add a brownstone, a cottage, or even a double-decker bus and a London phone booth to give your little people plenty of places to go and things to do!
     
    “I’ve long been a fan of Samantha’s work, combining free motion embroidery and hand-sewn elements to make whimsical creations. This book features 14 artistic softies with instructions and templates to make them yourself. I love the way each project is photographed with a hand-drawn background, pulling us into Samantha’s world of quirky characters and interesting objects.”—The Long Thread
     
    “Oh my! the cuteness is killing me . . . From groovy cars, to chic ladies about town, school boys and bunny rabbits and village houses—you have all the ingredients for lots of afternoons of imaginary play.”—whipup.net

      When I was a kid I loved to build my own worlds with paper, pens, and scissors. I would draw people, animals, buildings and paint them. Then I would cut them out with little stands and, voila, I would create my own paper zoo, etc. Here the author does that with fabric. She deftly shows you how to create her drawn characters into three dimensional decorations. Extend the idea and you can sew your own characters.The instructions are terribly clear. Trust me; I can be pretty thick-headed when it comes to craft instructions and these ones were easy to follow. Patterns are included.The photos and the staging are luscious. I look forward to seeing more from this artist.
