Fantastic Fun!

Great book! I made the dog and then the zebra (which turned out so adorable). Now I'm working on a bunny out of very soft, light blue gloves. I even made scarves for my dog and zebra. I can't wait to do the Panda and Elephant next. The pictures are too cute and the instructions along with graphics are easy to follow. If my bunny turns out as cute as the other animals I've made, I'm going to make a bunny (for Easter) for each of my nieces and nephews.

If you're looking for easy-to-do and fun craft projects this is the book for you. It's easy and inexpensive and the project goes fairly quickly. I did most of the sewing by hand but it can easily be done on a machine if you want to speed up the process. I watched television with my family while I was making them and they turned out just perfect.

I'm thinking about getting the other book by this author as well. Go ahead and give it a try - I think you'll love it!

What a book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2007

This book is a winner on all counts. The photographs are clear and illustrative of the many stuffed creatures the author has made out of socks and gloves. A gentle little story weaves the reader through the menagerie of characters, far beyond your average sock monkey.

Most important to me, her instructions for the construction of all the creatures are terrific. Several of my friends said they were the clearest instructions they'd ever seen for that kind of toy. She even shows variations on facial expressions.

It's hard not to fall in love with these little stuffed animals, and after seeing my copy, many of my students and friends have gone ahead and ordered their own. One note: If I were making these for a baby, I would embroider on the details, not use buttons...Enjoy!

Very Cute
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2013

This book is fairly short, but all of the ideas in it are quite adorable and pretty easy to create. I'm a beginner when it comes to sewing, and I made a teddy bear from the instructions in this book within two hours.
It's perfect for people who want to make cute animals without a lot of work or materials.
Like other people have said, almost all the projects require two socks or gloves so not "castoffs" really but the results are so cute that investing in a pack of socks or some cheap, knit gloves (like I used for the teddy) is worth it.

I ordered this book because I've recently started making sock monkeys for my kids and for friends. I wanted to expand on the sock monkey premise and make other simple projects as well. I AM NOT a accomplished sewer, in fact all I had done up to this point was sew a button or fix a hole in a sock. Basic quick fixes. I have LOVED this little hobby and this book gives ooodles of ideas. So far I have made the dog and the rabbit. From those ideas I've also come up with a few on my own. This book is not only full of great ideas, but it is written like a story book, so my kids have enjoyed "reading it". The ideas in this book are have a folksy / homespun feel, which I love, but also work with other fabrics which give them a more "polished look". For instance if you buy chenille socks and gloves your animals will turn out a bit more fluffy and have more of a stuffed animal look. Just like a recipe book can inspire your own dishes this book has inspired my own critters from their basic pattern. I have a little sewing bag near my couch and at night instead of surfing the web and wasting time, I am able to sew a little animal and it's a very enjoyable leisure activity. I'll post some photos of my creations...and can I say in the time it takes to sit and watch a kids movie with my children, I can whip up a bunny, cat or monkey. ANYONE can do this!

Excellent for older kids!
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2012
Verified Purchase
A certain 10 year old received this book from me at Christmas and has already plunged into some very sloppy sewing before I could even sit down to teach her. She made the puppy on the front cover out of some old black fluffy angora/cotton gloves I gave her, leftover thread, and old buttons. It is absolutely ADORABLE. I had to shore up some of the seams (well all of them) and clearly we'll have to review plain stitching again, but the speed and enthusiasm and ease of following these adorable easy patterns is undoubted. I will love making lots of mother/daughter memories with these. Excellent book for everyone...I would put this on the same level as crafting felties as far as affordability and ease.

This book and her other book, Happy Gloves, are Outstanding! They have wonderful pictures, easy to follow patterns and also tell a delightful story! So much fun to read, so many full color pictures to feast your eyes on, as well as all the patterns to make your own fun glove and sock critters.

These books are 2 of my all time favorites, and the best all the way around. My children enjoy them as much as I do! I highly recommend these 2 books. Very well worth the money!

I bought this for my step-daughter when she was 10 or 11. She is artsy and I figured it would be a perfect fit for her. It was not. The reason being that though the assembly looks easy enough to an adult, to a kid there are multiple steps that require various degrees of knowledge regarding sewing, assembly, etc. That said, she never lost track of it, the content was alluring.

Now that she is 12 and a half, she is starting to pull it out more. We have made a few things from it, she cuts everything out and I do the sewing.

I like to let her initiate the projects. Had I pushed to do something from it sooner, we probably could have, but I wanted this to be fun for her and let it come around in her own time. The fact that she held onto for a year or so is an indication that this is a great gift for a crafty person, but depending on their age it may take some time or encouragement.

gut erklärte und leicht verständliche anleitungen und super niedliche tierchen.
trotz englischer erklärung ist eigentlich alles gut erklärt, das ein oder andere wort habe ich nachgeguckt, ansonsten war alles gut zu verstehen.
ich habe einige tiere zu weihnachten letztes jahr genäht und alle waren begeistert.

manche dinge habe ich aus alten socken und handschuhen gemacht, ich habe jedoch auch einige günstige handschuhe gekauft, damit ich ein wenig auswahl bei den farben hatte. man sollte sich im klaren sein, dass man die tierchen aus handschuhen nicht unbedingt im sommer nähen kann, wenn man keine alten handschuhe im haus hat. ;)

ich muss außerdem erwähnen, dass ich eine nähmaschine genutzt habe, da ich von hand nicht so gut nähen kann.

alles in allem ein wunderbares buch, für den preis auch wirklich in ordnung.

I love this book, it is so clear that it makes sewing for beginners very simple and easy to follow. The designs are very sweet, and after making many sock monkeys before buying this book, I was incredibly pleased to get some ideas for some really cute glove animals! This book would make a great gift, especially if you also buy a load of silly socks and gloves to go with it!
