First published in 1950, this is a vintage guide to making classic stuffed toys by hand. With simple, step-by-step instructions and dozens of imaginative projects, this profusely-illustrated guide will appeal to anyone with an interest in hand making toys-no matter what their skill level. Contents include: "e;Consideration of the suitability of materials"e;, "e;Progressive work"e;, "e;Scales patterns"e;, "e;Clothing"e;, "e;Tools and Equipment: No special tools or equipment"e;, "e;Materials for pattern-making. Materials: Suitability"e;, "e;List of materials"e;, "e;Materials for accessories"e;, "e;Stuffing"e;, "e;Kapok and other types of fillings.
