This book features well-loved and familiar animal characters to recreate as toys. The collection includes 12 projects, with actual-size trace-off patterns and simple, step-by-step instructions. The characters include pipe-smoking Mr Badger, Mrs Mouse and her children and a Koala dressed ready for the beach in a bright shirt and hat. The book also shows how clever use of clothing, and the addition of accessories for the finishing touches, can breathe life into the animal characters. General guidance is also given on where to find suitable fabrics and trims.
