CRAFT Pattern Podcast: Treeling from Softies: Simple Instructions for 25 Plush Pals
This week's CRAFT Pattern Podcast is a featured pattern from the new book, Softies: Simple Instructions for 25 Plush Pals by Therese Laskey. This cute Treeling softie by Lynda Lye of Little Odd Forest is a simple little friend you can sew up from felt. You can even use up your old scraps to make up the multicolored leaves.
The Softies book features 25 patterns by famous crafters we've come to know and love such as Heidi Kenney of My Paper Crane, Hillary Lang of Wee Wonderfuls, Cassi Griffith of Bella Dia, and lots more! Besides with all the toy recall madness going on, it's it time to start making your own fun, safe toys? For more softies inspiration and projects, pick up the Softies book and visit Therese on the Softies Central blog.
