The arrival of our new book is getting closer!!! 
Melly and I are so excited to be able to tell you a little more about the new "Melly & me" book which is due to hit stores within the next two months or so.
Sewn Toy tales is a fabulous book full of 12 softie projects that are aimed at both boys and girls and also suit a range of sewing skill levels. These project are just too cute and I am sure you will fall in love with them all. There is also a great range of sewing techniques and tips enclosed that will help you create the perfect softie!
This book is also really exciting as Melly and I have teamed back up as sisters to work on an exciting new project. We have contributed 6 patterns each to the book and have an exciting competition planned for when we receive some copies. We are going to ask you all to guess who designed and made each softy (but more of that later!)
We hope to start showing you some of the projects enclosed over the coming weeks to give you a little taste of what you can expect. You can see the cute as a button "Alexander" caterpillar on the cover - and here is a little look at one of the projects enclosed - "Finnegan" the Frog 
"Sewn Toy Tales" is published by the wonderful David & Charles who have been so great to work with. We know that there are plenty of stores that are starting to take pre-orders, so please be on the look out. For any shops, please contact your local David & Charles distributor or Creative Abundance to secure your order.
So exciting!
Melly.
