I love this book for many reasons, but most of all the projects in are wonderfully creative and totally unique. I've loved Amy's work from the first I saw it, and this book just put me over the top with admiration. WIth Countryside Softies we are allowed to step into a playful land of critters and toadstools. The projects are clever and well thought out from the fox on the cover to a cheeky little otter and a beautiful swan. There's even buzzy little bumblebees that I went crazy over. The photography and layout are beautiful to look at, and the instructions are clearly written. I think this is a book that many different levels of sewers will enjoy. My two teen girls have already been eyeing a couple they want to make. And I will for sure be getting in on the action.
But let's get to it, shall we??? You want to win a copy of this great book!
