I had such a great time putting this book/kit together. I *love* all the projects and I REALLY love that the kit makes such a great give for beginner softie-makers - many of the projects are pretty easy, all are fun and if you're just starting you don't have to worry about where to find the supplies to make one and get your feet wet in this world.

The Softies Book Softies Video

And now, a moment we've all been waiting for...The Softies entertain with a little song and dance...Thanks to Andrew Moran, a young filmmaker in San Francisco and Christina Loff from Chronicle Books for making this animated short, AND to the famous Brooklyn band, One Ring Zero for letting us use their music! See more of Andrews videos here and check out Christina's blog Borrowed, Bought, Stolen.

New flickr group for Softies book softies

I've just set up a new flickr group so everyone can share photos of the softies they make using patterns from the Softies book. The group is simply called Softies Book Softies. I hope you'll make a softie and share with everyone. Here's a plaid pup that Flor from Feeling Stitchy made....

There is a free pattern for the Treeling on CRAFT.
