Book of Craft Boo Toy

We had a question over on Twitter about some specifics in making the Boo toy from the Book of Craft. Our lovely friends at Quadrille came to the rescue with answering it so we shall impart the information here for you all too!

They were asked about the thickness of the felt for Boo....
"If using shop-bought felt, go for 4mm. Use nice big over stitches when stitching pieces so stuffing doesn't leak. For Boo in the book, we boil washed a thrift store cashmere sweater to felt it down and make a lovely soft felt. "

Exclusive Launch: The Belle & Boo Book of Craft

We are so delighted to share with you the exciting news of the exclusive launch of our new craft book!

We've all been anxiously waiting it's arrival, here at Belle & Boo HQ, and we're so thrilled with what the team at Quadrille Publishing have produced - it is simply stunning.

The book is full colour and features 25 gorgeous projects for you to make for both the little girls and little boys in your life. The projects range from beginner paper crafts, to knitting, to advanced sewing so really there's something for everyone.  I have to say though, I think my favourite project would have to be the pattern for the Boo plush, he is just too cute for words.

To coincide with the book launch, we have also produced a new fabric panel featuring a variety of fat quarter panels, which will go rather nicely with the patchwork quilt pattern featured in the book!

Happy crafting, everyone!
