Featuring a delicious mix of patterns from professional softie creators, this kit contains everything needed for making adorable felt dolls (called softies) including a how-to booklet with stitch patterns and helpful info, 2 pieces of felt, 2 skeins of embroidery floss, 15 project cards (10 projects from the book Softies, 5 original), and 8 sheets of traceable patterns. Try stitching up a pair of Lucky Elephants, a frosty Ice Cream Sandwich, or a festive Birthday Banner – after seeing your handiwork, friends will be begging for softies of their own.

Therese Laskey is a crafter living in Brooklyn, New York. She is also the author of Softies.
