Product Description
From Library Journal
Tiny toys--many only 3" tall--fit nicely in pockets and children's hands, and they are easily carried about in a plastic bag while still being worked on. Hall, the author of 11 previous needlecraft books, including Soft Sculpture, here creates a menagerie of fetching animals created from scraps of felt, faux fur, beads, and other easily obtained craft materials. Included are full-size patterns and step-by-step instructions for sewing (by hand or machine) 52 toys from dogs and ponies to salamanders to a fanciful dragon, along with information on designing and embellishing these tiny toys. A good choice for all public library crafts collections.

Book Description
The author demonstrates how hand and machine sewers of all skill levels can create their own small plush toys with material such as felt, fake fur, beads, ribbons, pipe cleaners and pellets. It offers 60 original animal patterns, easy-to-follow instructions, and clear illustrations so construction is quick and easy. The book is divided up into different construction techniques: shifting stuffing, movable arms and legs, and armatures for long, narrow parts. Readers can also learn how to create their own patterns from drawings and photographs.

Great Resource for Toymakers!,
By Tiny Toys (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sewing Tiny Toys (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book, with full-sized patterns for every toy, and with detailed tutorials for creating your own designs. Although it is temporarily difficult to find, there are thousands of copies out there, so don't despair! Just keep checking Amazon, eBay, and Etsy, and you're bound to find it for a very reasonable price. Happy toymaking!

Great Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sewing Tiny Toys (Paperback)
This book is sooooo easy to use. It is also great to carry around with you. I am twelve and was worried that I wouldn't be able to make these little animals, but it turns out that they are much easier then they look. This book is a must have!

A Great Book For Anybody Who Sews...or Anyone Who Doesn't,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sewing Tiny Toys (Paperback)
This is a really great book for anybody. You don't have to be experienced to understand how to do it because it explains everything from stitching to what kind of fabric to use. There are tiny animals to sew from all around the world. There is an elephant, a giraffe, a polar bear, a cat, a dog, a lion, a tiger, people, an otter, a parrot, and even a mushroom! There are 52 full size patterns. This book even gives tips on designing your own little creatures. The directions are very clear and easy to understand. The book also gives ideas of how to use them like making them into Christmas tree ornaments or using them as party favors. It even shows how to make joints out of buttons and how to paint the creature so it looks more realistic. This is a great book that is easy to understand and pretty simple. I know I've had fun with it and I hope you do to.
