Tiny Felt Cuties & Creatures by Delilah Iris
I received a copy from Walter Foster Publishing through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
If you’re looking to get into felt sewing or are just looking for some cute patterns, this is the book for you! Inside you will find several adorable patterns that are simple and easy to follow. I got into sewing last year, so I knew I had to check out this book when I saw it. The tools and materials section is pretty straight forward, but I was excited to learn about using tape to secure patterns to the felt for cutting purposes. I’ve been pinning my patterns to the felt, but using tape is going to be a total game changer!
The hand sewing section includes some basic yet essential stitches, and also has a few tips and trips along the way. I like that it includes a tip on splitting the thread because it’s not something I’ve seen in some of the patterns I’ve used from other creators, though I do split the thread the way I do for other crafts. It’s an excellent tip for people who are just getting started that aren’t coming over from other crafts that use some of the same materials.
I’m excited to say that the patterns are just as cute as they appear on the cover. Inside, all readers will find patterns for animals, dolls, things that go with the animals and dolls such as a Mushroom house and a dog bed, and a few cute and whimsical designs such as mushrooms and a tree stump house. All of the patterns are easy to follow and include great pictures alongside the instructions as well as tips and tricks. I think this is a great book that’s good to have on hand for anyone getting into felt sewing.
