Make Softies is a collaboration of various designers that requires a knowledge of sewing and lots of time. These adorable patterns are perfect for reducing your fabric stash, and if like me you have a bin full of scraps then this is the book for you. Each project, from owls, to mushrooms and even a village are easily put together using the step by step instructions and pictures, you can even make a Alien with a 'stray' grey sock. C & T Publishing have put this book together beautifully, and each project come with a small 'history' of the designer and from which book the pattern has come from. Honestly, you will never have to buy another soft toy again. The Swedish Tomte Softie is adorable and one of my favourites. There are some pattern templates at the back of the book, some of which you have to photocopy up to a % size, but each project is colorful and very well explained. This is book that will be a welcome addition to any crafters bookshelf and I know my copy is going to be well used. 5*/5 * Tracy Shephard - Postcard Reviews *
