Perfect for any sewer with a love for animals, this delightful handbook to crafting homemade stuffed animals features 12 fabric and sock animals that are guaranteed to charm. Making appearances are Poppo Piggy, with a big button nose and floppy ears; Jeff Bear, with his lanky body smartly dressed in a turtleneck and corduroy pants; and Wind Lion, with a mane of colorful fabric scraps and a sideways expression. Sewers will learn not only quirky embellishment techniques—from creating button noses or ribbon hair to hand-embroidering faces—but also how to craft clothing accessories such as dresses, tops, scarves, hats, skirts, and pants. Step-by-step illustrations and pattern templates keep the crafting process clear and simple; and because many of the accessories are made from socks, fabric scraps, and trims, these stuffed animals make a perfectly adorable—and affordable—gift.

Review
"Making the old new again is an idea that has found a new generation of devotees, thank goodness. Sew Me, Love Me takes one of those genres, stuffed animals, a step further to the realm of cool . . . They're not cartoonish or cherubic. They're imaginative and quirky—and earth-friendly to boot." —CraftNouveau
"Adorable plush animal friends." —Sew News

Too adorable to pass up

If you like to sew (hand and/or machine) AND you get a kick out of making stuffed creatures AND you love to 'upcycle' old clothing, fabric, yarn and such, then you simply must get this book. These suffed animals are small--about 12" to 15" at the tallest--but they are the most charming, whimsical, expressive, silly and fun little "lovies" you'll ever make. Patterns are included, directions are clear, and you've got plenty of room and encouragement to add your own creative flourishes. I'm creative and crafty and quite handy with needle and thread, but I don't know that I'd have ever come up with animals this adoreable and lovable on my own. Do yourself a solid and buy this book for your birthday--you'll be so glad you did.

The characters in this book are darling and so full of personality!! The instructions are detailed and the author's suggestions for use of recycled/repurposed materials are great--I'm looking forward to stitching up a few of these sweet little critters!

I have recently gotten into sewing stuffed creatures and looked at this book about a year ago. REcently saw it again and decided it was my style... and I love it! The patterns are super easy and the visual ideas have sparked me to step out of the ordinary. I am on my third project and love them all!
