Sew some new friends with Sewing Animal Dolls: Heirloom patterns to make for Daisy and her friends by Tina O'Rourke. Meet and learn how to make Daisy Dog and her best friends Mimi Puppy, Rosie Rabbit and Ben and Betty Bear. These beloved animal characters like to play dress up, have fun sleepovers and take magical weekend walks. They have their own clothing - basic outfits, fairy dress up costumes (completely hand-sewn) and pajamas. An array of accessories like hats, scarves, bags, slippers and more, complement each dolls look. There are patterns for making the dolls as well as their clothing and accessories. All pattern pieces are full size and include a 1/2 cm seam allowance. Standard information on pattern level (advanced beginner to intermediate), finished size, materials, hand sewing stitches used and cutting out the pattern are included. These are followed by step-by-step sewing instructions - both photo and text. Tutorials demonstrate finishing touches like basic crochet, hand stitching (whip stitch applique, whip, ladder, running, tacking, daisy, satin, back and blanket stitches) how to sew on a button and snap fastener. This beautiful collection of handmade dolls is sure to be cherished for years to come! Casemate IPM released this 128 page paperback on June 24, 2020. It is also available in e-book format.
