DESCRIPTION:
With their projects in great demand, they are kept very busy. The authors, Emola and Connie, are a mother daughter team that has been crafting together for more than 20 years. Eventually, they started a small craft business, Heart to Art, which sells their finished projects as well as craft supplies. They started by making crafts for theirhomes, and immediately demand from family and friends meant that they were making dozens
Mother-daughter team Stone and Lowe have obviously perfected the how-tos; like most Chapelle-generated books, theirs begins by telling all--materials, tools, and the basic shaping and attachment instructions. Barbara Jacobs. From Booklist It is such a simple, old-fashioned concept, if truth be told, that it is a surprise no one has resurrected the sock-doll craft--until now. Color photographs are plentiful, yet it can be difficult to separate one doll's directions from the next. Then the mo
General instructions explain how to choose socks, cut, sew, stuff, and sculpt the dolls. On the Farm: Sew farm friends like "Moonique" the cow. Attach eyes, noses, and mouths, and paint a blush on the cheeks. Just take a sock, fill it with stuffing, add yarn hair and facial features, and dress it up. Whether you choose a gorilla, ballerina, or clown, there's a doll here to suit everyone from kids to collectors. Nothing's simpler to make, cuddlier to hold, and nicer to display than a sock doll. Plus, there's a special note on making your dolls "child safe." You'll want all of these! At the Zoo: Create a home menagerie -- including a bear, giraffe, and moose. At a Party: Celeb
Adorable Indeed! I checked this book out from the library and within 2 days have decided to purchase it. This book is beautifully illustrated with color photos and has large print, easy to read instructions. (I do agree that the projects seem to run together.) The term "dolls" is misleading, as they include everything from zoo/farm animals to clowns and snowmen. The book offers baby-friendly instructions, but I am disappointed that most of the photos only show the dolls with "over 3 years" eyes and noses. I do a. Harder than I thought I've been sewing for over 50 years. I thought moving to sock animals would be fun. It is. What I was not expecting, however, is the difficulty of finding the right sock. What portions are ribbed? What's the ratio of foot to leg? To be able to really use this book, you need to be able to do a lot of adapting from the basic idea. Finding the right sock to follow the directions was impossible for me. Great & clever ideas, just inaccessible to me.. IMNSHO said Best Sock Doll Book. After reviewing just about every book written on sock dolls from the library, I can recommend this one highly. The instructions are clearly written and illustrated. The dolls and animals, absolutely adorable. If you only buy one sock book, this is definitely the book to purchase.
