English

一塊錢賭你會愛上這些帶有歐洲風情的迷人羊毛氈布小物。

這是一本羊毛氈的創作書,更是難得的一本佳作!

全書共有15個作品,帶有作者一貫天馬行空的創意與手縫感。

作品背後會襯上插圖表現作者創作的想像畫面 ,於是每個作品都是一個小人物的故事跟模樣。

穿著西裝的查理急忙跳上雙層巴士,趕赴約會; 黃色的計程車在街道奔馳;翹課的西門背著裝著漫畫跟玩具的書包不知道要去哪裡……

這些圖像都來自作者的日常生活中。

讀者也可以利用這些下城小區和人物邊創造自己的故事,加上一個小屋、雙層巴士或是倫敦的電話亭,讓這些羊毛氈人可以在不同的地方從事不同的活動。

除了用羊毛氈布外,所有表情,衣服細節,巴士等手繪圖案,會搭配手縫或機縫刺繡來表現,讓作品靈動有生氣。同時每個作品都有紙型,刺繡方法示範。

I've long been a fan of Samantha's work, combining free motion embroidery and hand-sewn elements to make whimsical creations. This book features 14 artistic softies with instructions and templates to make them yourself. I love the way each project is photographed with a hand-drawn background, pulling us into Samantha's world of quirky characters and interesting objects. The book itself is clean and uncluttered, adding to the charming simplicity of the designs. The projects are straight-forward and may look intimidating at first glance, but I think they are quite do-able. She gives basic instructions for free-motion stitching and encourages you to do it on your own, as she says A crooked line here and there won't hurt-it will give the project character and make it yours. This book inspires me to turn off the feed dogs and go do some drawing with my sewing machine. I think you'll agree. Samantha also has an adorable line of fabric out from Robert Kaufman and some other interesting designs that she's selling in her Etsy shop. And if you live in New York, stop by Etsy Labs Craft Night tomorrow night, where Samantha will lead a workshop making a project from the book. (The Long Thread, 9/23/10 )

Welcome to a unique world of little sewn people and critters. Where the story line is directed by you the crafter, and where you can create as many or as little characters as you wish to create your own special world. You can travel uptown, down country, or across the pond through the pages of Fanciful Felties by mummysam (Samantha Cotterill/Stash Books 2010 (an imprint of C&T Publishing) Where your little world begins is up to you, but you'll find a darling array of characters to create out of wool felt, cotton fabrics, embroidery floss and stuffing. You'll find Charles, a dapper little gentleman that is ready for a night out on the town dressed in his matching vest and jacket. Perhaps he's off to pick up Marge for a night at the opera? Maybe they'll take the fancy city car, or perhaps the double decker bus? Along the way they'll pass plenty of city brownstones, and may even see Mr. Bunny in his overcoat. Or they may stop at Milly's bakery for a delightful taste of cake. After a nice evening out at the opera they'll both retire to their homes where the next morning they'll be visited by Mr. Milkman (a delightful little bird that wears an apron and a bag and carries a crate of fresh milk bottles) You will wonder where to begin as you start creating your own little village of characters, but have fun.you certainly will. Each of the characters in Fanciful Felties are easy to create and full sized patterns are included at the back of the book. Each character has very thorough instructions for completing a wonderful project. You'll learn all of the steps on how to transfer the pattern designs onto your felt, to stuffing your little characters, to embroidering their features onto their faces and bodies, and more. This is a terrific resource for creating little characters for a child's doll house. Or to add bits of fun and whimsy in places throughout your home that folks will least expect.and the little people make wonderful gifts for your friends and family. Create something different for the Holidays. Have fun with Fanciful Felties (Tina Wilson, Small Town Living, October 3, 2010 )
