For kids (and the child within us), Helen has also included toys and animal-shaped backpacks, so the little ones can have some of the pawprint fun too!

Key techniques and basic materials are detailed at the beginning of the book, and all of the projects include easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Templates for all the animals are provided on a fold-out sheet at the back of the book.

What a fun sewing book this is..

Sew Perfect Pets is ideal for stitchers of all abilities. It includes 3 Full sized pattern sheets that are double sided, and a basic techniques guide.

The 18 pet projects are absolutely delightful, and with an Owl Doorstop, a Dog toy, Cow Handbag and an adorable Fox Pillow, they are all beautifully showcased in a colourful array of sewing loveliness.

The instructions are easy to follow with a written and visual format. The pattern sheet that you will need is given and all materials and sizes are listed. The information is really helpful and even a beginner will fully understand how to achieve a beautiful and usable item.

This is an ideal sewing guide and is one of those books that you will always be reaching for whenever you need the perfect gift for a little one.
