I just ordered Felt Craft by Petra Berger and Wee Felt Folk by Salley Mavor. I got them from Amazon b.c they had a special to buy them together...plus I got free shipping

It was birthday money well spent..hehehe

I checked them out of the library first..knew I HAD to have them

a GOOD ONE IS ALSO SEWING TINY TOYS
and I have checked out numberous books from the library that fit under topic soft toy making. There are some neat books from the 60s and 70s that have nice ideas that can be adated to felt.
(sorry for caps, baby help

)
i also have Gnome Craft book and Making Flower Children and that is all I can think of right now without looking on my bookshelf (I have other craft books but not for felt specifically)

Does this same lady who does Tiny Toys also have a Animal A-Z one? I saw that and wanted it sooooooooooo bad!! I am going to go look this up now...LOL

Freak that I am, I usually just start hacking away at felt and forget to draw a pattern for what I'm making. I hate it when I do that.

But since I want to be able to offer them for sale I make my own patterns. It always leaves me feeling brain-drained though lol!

I do make some of my own patterns too and sometimes I do it nicely (draw on paper first) and sometimes i just cut felt first and think later, lol.
And I have some patterns on my site too, check under craft stuff
