Textile Animal Toys

As children, each of us believed in the animateness of plush toys. The charming and touching original characters created by Marina Solntsevorot make us return to those times and doubt the boring conviction that a toy is just an object.

The renowned craftswoman shared the secrets of sewing seventeen different little animals. Among them are a thoughtful dog, a smiling piglet, a couple of loving bunnies, a good-natured teddy bear reminiscent of childhood, and many other amusing toys dressed in colorful sweaters, pants, and hats.
The book describes in detail the techniques for creating images as well as sewing, stuffing, and joining ready-made parts of toys. A separate chapter is devoted to knitting outfits — dressing your little animal can be done even by someone who has never held knitting needles before. The patterns provided on the last pages can be modified to create new characters whose appearance and personality you will invent yourself.
Give it a try, and perhaps the little miracle of bringing a charming bunny to life will enchant you, and the new toy will find its place not only on a shelf but also in someone’s heart.
