In much more fun news, CICO Books have started a group on Ravelry for crafters making stuff from their books and they've shared one of the projects from my new book (Super-Cute Felt Animals) as a free tutorial. Hurrah! If you want to learn how to make Sidney the squirrel, you can find the tutorial here.

ReplyDeletewhat a darling squirrel!!!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing the tutorial!!!
I love that cute little squirrel! We have a few that come to play in our back garden and we feed them nuts. I'd like to make a felt one, but I'm not sure from the tutorial how big the templates are. Please could you tell me the size of one of the pieces so that I can get an idea of the correct size? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn - my publishers have now uploaded a full size template sheet, you can find it here: http://www.rylandpeters.com/blog/super-cute-felt-animals-template/ (this link is also now included in the project page on Ravelry) The template sheet should be printed at approx A4, and the squirrel's tail piece = approx 3 inches (7.5 cm) high.
ReplyDeleteI've just done a test print and if you print the template sheet image at 100% it comes out at the correct size :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura, I've printed out the templates at A4 and I'm good to go now - as soon as I find my grey felt!
ReplyDeleteThat little squirrel is adorable. Off to print out the template to make for my grandson, Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy sewing the squirrel, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteWinnibriggs House - I hope your grandson likes his squirrel! :)
