About this title

Review:

With its bright colors and no-fray edges, felt is one of the most enjoyable materials around, and certainly the easiest with which to work. Today's new felts--in plush textures, or embossed with rich designs resembling snakeskin, leather, or wallpaper--make crafting with felt even a little sophisticated. Check out Katherine Duncan's Fabulous Felt Crafts for dozens of whimsical ways to craft with this festive fabric, all nicely presented and thoroughly explained. For kids, try making things like the notepad covers, butterfly pin, moon and stars valance, pet mobile, rabbit in a hat puppet, or regal child throne. Grownup attire includes a reverse-appliqué vest, sassy felt shoes, hats, and an elegant evening bag. For the home there are pillows, wall hangings, a collaged table, a beautiful tree skirt, and much more. Complete patterns are included, along with a simple embroidery stitch guide. A gallery of unusual felt creations explores the work of talented felt artists. --Amy Handy

From Library Journal:

Felt is an easily worked craft material for adults and children. Often associated with holidays, it receives a variety of year-round treatments in these step-by-step projects, which include clothing, accessories, pillows, and banners by several designers. Most are embellished with embroidery, buttons, beads, and other items. An embroidery stitch guide and patterns for enlarging are included. This is a good selection for public or school libraries.
