By Kata Golda
(STC CRAFT, $19.95, ISBN: 1-58479-798-3)
From the Publisher:
With no more than felt and thread, Kata Golda creates toys and practical items for the home that are undeniably charming, stylish, and sweetly imperfect. Her whimsical creations have been selling at high-end boutiques for several years, and now, in Kata Golda’s Hand-Stitched Felt, she shows crafters of all skill levels how to make 25 of her favorites.Ranging from children’s finger puppets and a tooth-fairy pillow to photo “brag” books, messenger bags, and curtains and blankets, most of these projects can be completed in an hour or less. They are made from basic shapes of wool felt sewn together and customized with unique details, all using simple, large stitches. Step-by-step instructions and templates, along with adorable photos and hand-drawn illustrations, make each project simple to replicate. Playful tutorials, such as how to personalize projects with a variety of facial expressions, add to the charm of this delightful book.

I made book covers for all the girls on my Christmas list last year. Boy was that a tough project that I thought was going to be easy! Putting bias tape around the edges was super difficult. Next time, I think I’ll skip to the “buy it” thought instead haha.

Thankyou for all these fantabulous ideas!
Lovely ideas for the writer-to-be too!
The moleskine covers with pen holder are really pretty! I’ve also been making a ton of potholders trying out all different kinds of quilt squares and this one (from a Sew Mama Sew post earlier this month) has been quite successful…http://www.handmadebyalissa.com/sparks-baby-quilt-pattern/
Great projects and love the litte felt critters.
More great ideas! Thank you!
I love felt!
