Introduction
The simplest toys are often the embodiment of happy ch•ldhood playtimes Costumed
rag dolls make the best guests at an afternoon tea party, while an easy-going stuffed
animal in tow can be a loyal best friend at the playground. And embracing a favorite
teddy makes for the safest and most comforting experience during napt1me.
As a child, I was surrounded by toys. From a rag doll wi1h missing stuffing to a
bear whose fur had been worn away. my dearest companions may not have been 1n the
most pristine cond1t1on. but they provided me with hours upon hours of amusement
and I loved them all the same Though I grew aide< and my interests broadened. I soon
disc~ed that creallng my very own toys was as much as fun as playing with them.
Wrth 1q.s to Sew. I've designed a collectlOO of dolls for children and adults alike
by draww>g 1nsporaoon from the dolls and stuffed arnmals of my ci.ldhood Whether the
doll is patched up or the animal boasts an od<l-Outtoned eye, each toy has rts own
personality and plenty of character to become a cherished lifelong pal Everyone can
enioy workrng fabt1c into toys t"'11 will be ado<ed for~.
This whimsical colleC1ion features dolls and toys that will appeal to children of
all ages. She'll find plenty of entertainment playing dress up with the dolls and
wardrobes from the first chapter. You'll also find a delightful assortment of toys rn the
Ammals & Nurseiy Toys chapter. A floppy-eared pink elephant and an old-fashioned
teddy bear make endearing playtime pals. And for your wee cowboy? The wild, wild
West wouldn't be quite the same without a patchwork hobby horse. Furthermore, rf
you're new to the sewing process, S1mple P'Ofl!CIS such as the Bea<s rn Waistcoats and
the Retro Tea Set are ideal for be<)lnners
I loved playing with toys when I was child, and 1lc:Ne -..ng them for my
ci.ldren as an adult Many of these toys are designed to entertain and amuse your
ci.ldren for years to come It~ always meant a Qfeat deal to have sewn somethrng
myself. and I hope the toys you create from this book prCMde you and the children
1n your life w11h as much en,oyment as they have for me and my little ones
