Abigail Patner Glassenberg

The projects in this book look a bit clumsy, to be honest. However, after digging into the text, I discovered, to my delight, that this book isn't really about the projects. Instead, Glassenberg's goal is to build up skills from basic newbie sewing skills up to slightly more sophisticated skills designed to encourage you to make your own patterns. I love this since I'm not really a "let's make this thing step-by-step" kind of person, but someone who likes to see how things are made so I can show more use those construction ideas and skills to make things on my own. That is exactly the kind of person that Glassenberg is wanting to use this book. So, if you're interested in learning the skills to make your own stuffed animal designs, then this is a great book. If, however, you're just looking for patterns to follow, maybe try a different one with cuter animals in it. show less

Interesting book on soft sculpturing birds. I just didn't like the style of the birds, but the author does use a lot of imagination.
