Softies Only a Mother Could Love: Lovable Friends for You to Sew, Knit, or Crochet
Having seen this book around the traps but not knowing much about it, I was curious about who and what designers and projects were included. Originally published in Australia, the U.S. version of Softies is now out and available worldwide.
Not disappointed, despite the softie frenzy on the blogs, the galleries and the book market, the projects in this book manage to still be fresh and original. There are bunnies, dolls, teddies but also dogs and cats, angels, giraffes, owls and bugs. Sweet softies by your favourite softie designers and bloggers, it is a pretty simply laid out book – clear photos, patterns, templates and illustrations without a lot of extra fluff.

I made heaps of softies from the first book and just loved it. It started my craft/sewing obsession !!
This is the us edition of the Aussie book of 2007, largely unchanged. The second Aussie book in the series, more softies, hasn’t been issued in a us edition to date.
thanks Sooz for the update
