Plush You!: Lovable Misfit Toys to Sew and Stuff

Take this plush and STUFF IT!

Plush You! invites you into a world of more than 100 lovable—in a three eyes, ten arms, USO (unidentified stuffing object) sort of way—handmade toys to sew and stuff. Soon you, too, will be a softie when you fall for:

• Wiggle, the Sweater-Wearing Tooth, who lives next to your sweet tooth and hides from his arch enemy...toothpaste.
• Foxley Bagel, whose best friend is a fish who thinks Foxley is also a vegan. But, Foxley keeps a few secrets in his tail.
• The Cockeyed Sock Monkeys who have perfect vision—in one eye—and never take it off of you.

Packed with inspiration from more than 90 plush artists from around the world, and complete with step-by-step instructions for making 15 unique projects, Plush You! will inspire you to replicate these quirky creations or invent one of your own.

You might be too old for stuffed animals, but you're never too old for a plushie. Create your own social circle of irresistibly charming, wickedly funny imaginary friends.
