Zakka!

Isn’t that just fun to say? I’ve been wanting to buy a zakka book for a while now. What finally hooked me was borrowing Dagmar’s book Zakka Sewing a few days ago. There are so many gorgeous cute projects I want to start. I figured I might as well have my own copy! Watch this space because the book should arrive any day now.

Kawaii

The Cute Book byAranzi Aronzo is one of my very favorite craft books. The felt animals are all adorable. Der! It’s not called the CUTE book for nothin’! Each project is within a beginner’s ability to create and the book itself is kawaii. It’s little and the spine opens easily for copying patterns on your printer/copier.

Today, I changed the monkey pattern around a bit and created a Little Purple Guy. I’m still thinking about what I want to do with him. Maybe I should make him a little pouch or sleeping bag and give him as a gift. Or sell him in my etsy shop.

Pattern: see above
Fabric: felt and embroidery floss
