Wild & Wonderful Fleece Animals:
With Full-Size Patterns for 20 Cuddly Critters
By
Linda Carr
Fleece is soft, warm, easy to work with, and simple to sew—requiring no lining or edge-finishing. Even brand-new sewers can make the perfect gift in a weekend, or less!
This book provides easy step-by-step instruction to make a range of cuddly fleece creatures to keep or give away--in a variety of colors, textures, and patterns. Each of the 20 animals is featured in a full-size photograph, along with a variation in one or more colors or sizes. There are easy-to-follow line drawings and step-by-step text instruction for construction and assembly of each one. Linda adds her own creative touches to each of the simple shapes--decorative trims, bright appliques, and quick, secure closures. Full-size tissue patterns and templates are included for each of the projects. Fleece fabric is easy to find, and the selection of colors, patterns, and textures is increasing in larger craft chains and in traditional fabric outlets.
Includes full-size, fold-out patterns and templates for each of the 20 projects.

This book is packed full of the cutest animals you just have to make so you can snuggle them!
I have a bunch of little nieces that I know will love them. I better get cookin' on my Christmas gifts for them. In the mean time I had to instantly make this flower. It was so easy and quick!

I grabbed a scrap of fleece (you may recognize it from my cold pack cozy project)
I cut the pattern out and then used it to cut the fleece. I gathered and sewed the pom pom on as the instructions indicated. Here you have it:
And yes, this is my current everyday purse with a Hello Kitty cell phone cozy. Some things you just can't out grow!
