I think a lot of the stray socks accumulated in my family will start finding their way into my sewing basket and my daughter's sewing basket after reading this instead being used to dust. I think my favorite project is the zebra made from a striped sock. The construction ideas and tips will give a lot of crafters other ideas for things to do with socks and mittens. I just noticed this book was released on my birthday in 2007, which is wonderful appropriate because I got it on my birthday this year from my son.I love it so much. I highly recommend it. If you can hand sew a good seam, and embroider, you can do everything in it and the projects are adorable.What makes it really special is the introduction, which takes up most of the book to all the animals in it. None of the projects are really complicated or require specialized skills or equipment. It's sweet, and the photographs are fantastic.
This book is very good to show you how to do these cute crafts with the kids.
I love that the majority of the book is devoted to photographs, it is pleasing to look at and offers guidance and inspiration for the projects. this book is simply delightful. beatifully photographed, with easy to understand written and illustrated directions.
Or, borrow it from the library.It is a waste of money. Surprisingly, this book is written by a Japanese.Would advise you not to buy this book, unless, your a die hard fan of this author. If you MUST buy this book, go buy a used book. Received my book today, was disappointed that this book did not feature enough of other craft ideas. I thought of returning the book back to Amazon, but it would take too much of a hassle, would keep the book, but wont use it. For that kind of price, I would expect more craft ideas, not many patterns listed in this book. "Minimalist" type of book, if your into this sort of craft book. I owned several japanese craft books in japanese language, usually they show more craft ideas with patterns, than this particular book craft.
He won't mind.Sock and Glove, I'm so glad I bought you but I have yet to make one of you. If they come out horribly, toss them to your dog to gnaw on. Get crackin' and make some sweet little animals out of them.
I just can't help myself, though, when I see a book like this on the bookstore shelf. Got a sock without its missing pair. Okay, I'll admit, I get on craft kicks and I'm relentless while I'm plowing through, and then I lose my motivation/get distracted/get hungry and abandon projects.
Old winter stretchy gloves you know you'll never wear again. Forgive me. My head starts spinning with the possibilities - not long after opening the book, I'm picturing my friends and relatives unwrapping my adorable creations as I bathe in mountains of earnings from Etsy.
Then I snap back to reality and realize that I'm still standing in the bookstore drooling over the insane cuteness.This book gives easy instructions for adorable creations that hypothetically could cost you nothing.
