Abby Glassenberg makes wonderfully imaginative and incredibly well made toys and in her new book “Stuffed Animals: From Concept to construction” she shows you how to make them as well as how to create your own designs.
This is a solid, comprehensive guide to sewing 3 dimensional shapes – essential skills are explained and demonstrated clearly through 16 delightful and detailed projects.
As you make each project you learn a skill to use in creating your own inventions – like darts and gussets and joints.
The 52 lessons, tips, tricks and equipment overview make this a great place to start for beginners as well as an excellent reference for more advanced sewers interested in designing patterns or soft sculpture or improving the quality of their work.
I don’t generally review things here but this book answers questions I’m asked so frequently I wanted to offer it as reference for anyone interested in sewing their own designs.
Thank you so much for recommending my book, Ann! I’m so glad you like it.
Certainly looks worth adding to my shelf.I’ve usually had to make adjustments to patterns.Than ks you.
Es genial todo lo que haces, estoy enamorada de tu página!!
