This was a very fun book to work with.
During last weekends monsoon, my nieces and I ended up working through several pieces. The instructions are clear and the illustrations are immensely helpful for those of us who are not blessed with the crafting gene. Plus, the pieces are clever and colorful, flipping through the book you keep thinking "I can make that" and/or "I want to make that."
A strong recommend, especially if you enjoy doing crafts with others.

I found myself oohing and awing over all of the adorable and brightly colored projects in Super-Cute Felt. It is an especially attractive concept because felt is such an easy material to work with since it doesn't fray, plus it comes in all kinds of shades for any idea you might have.
I liked how all of the projects in Super-Cute Felt only use simple hand-sewing stitches (instructions are provided if you are new to hand sewing). That makes it easy to bring them anywhere and spend a little time working on them whenever you have a few minutes to spare. To create the fun ideas in Super-Cute Felt, each step has an associated color illustration along with clear directions to help you easily accomplish the task. Some of the ideas are small and fast to make, even for beginners or children. For the experienced seamstress or those looking for a more involved craft, there are many projects that are a little more elaborate, but offer the satisfaction of a job well done when finished.
There are several categories of felt crafts in Super-Cute Felt, including Accessories, Gifts, Homewares and Celebrations, each of them with absolutely darling ideas. Whether it's a Kitty Purse or Hedgehog Case to hold your cell phone, these simple, yet eye catching, designs will definitely get noticed. The Lovebirds Mobile would be a charming and original gift to give as a present for a new baby. The author suggests making the Butterfly and Flower hair combs for the ladies in a wedding party. The pastel colored Tea Cozy has colorful cupcakes and cookies placed on a retro cake stand and fits perfectly over your family teapot. My favorite felt treat was the Gingerbread Cookie Garland, which looks almost edible with its gingerbread "cookies", white felt frosting and silver beads. The delightful cookies are sewn on to a red gingham ribbon which is embellished with little jingle bells.
Super-Cute Felt is a very enjoyable book full of striking and fun ideas for the whole year!

This book has lots of fun ideas to use up your felt stash. I am making a quiet activity book for my granddaughter and I have used the pattern for the flowers and butterfly and will be using the bird also. I am looking forward to using more of the patterns available in here.
