Popular author Corinne Lapierre brings us another delightful book of beautiful felt creatures. Fabulous Felt Animals includes families of deer, raccoons, foxes, rabbits, bears and mice, all brought to life with cute outfits and fun accessories.
The animals are made using ready-made craft felt that is easy to work with and soft to the touch, and are hand-sewn using simple stitches. Clear step-by-step instructions are provided for every project, accompanied by gorgeous photographs and Corinne's delightful illustrations, and there are same-size templates at the back of the book for all the animals, clothes and accessories.
Corinne Lapierre developed a passion for crafts and textiles from a very young age, and has always had an avid desire to learn about traditional techniques such as weaving, dyeing, silk painting and embroidery. She studied Fine Art in France before moving to the UK to study Fashion Design in Manchester. After working as a fashion designer for a few years, Corinne studied millinery, through which she discovered felt and its many qualities. In 2009 Corinne started her own craft business as a felt maker and quickly realized there was a demand for craft kits using good-quality, natural materials. Her company, based in an old Baptist school in Leeds, UK, sells an expanding range of craft kits and patterns designed for adults and children. Corinne makes regular appearances on Create & Craft TV and lives in Yorkshire with her three children and two cats. Visit her website at www.corinnelapierre.com

I absolutely love this book. The step-by-step instructions for each animal and their accessories are really easy to follow. The attention to detail is amazing. The added templates at the back of the book are great also. If you're new to sewing don't let that put you off because the stitches are really simple. I'm excited to get started.

Felt Animal Families is full of cute creatures to make from felt. The patterns are easy to follow with great illustrations. A good book for young and old. I especially like the rabbit family with their picnic. I look forward to making these delightful little friends.

Absolutely loved this book. Full size templates included for the animals, their clothes and accessories, with detailed step by step photos and instructions. The animals are very cute, small enough to fit in little pockets and could very easily be made into keyrings & bag charms, or Christmas tree trims by using seasonal colours or embellishments. Templates could easily be enlarged if a larger toy was preferred. Personally I feel the size of these little animals are very much part of their charm. If you have read and enjoyed any of Corinne Lapierre's previous books you would definitely love this. If you haven't, this would be a perfect introduction.
