“I liked that the patterns in the books are full size (good because I can’t just hop over to Kinko’s), that I have all the supplies–cheap craft felt, embroidery floss, and stuffing–needed to make them, and that they’re completely hand sewn. The book includes 18 patterns.” ––In My Jammies http://mandylikespie.blogspot.com/2010/08/felties.html
“This is a really cool book if you just want to be spoon fed some craft. The instructions come in written steps but also visual step by step diagrams. The clearest I’ve ever come accross so good for kids too.” –Luna Landing http://lunalanding.blogspot.com/2010/02/yay-completed-another-feltie-from-nelly.html
“I love craft books. I might actually have too many. heh I recently picked up Felties by Nelly Pailloux. Felties are great for people who are not very patient and want something quick and easy to make. They can get more challenging as the detail increases but are cute, fun and make a great gift.” ––BrvBrd http://brvbrd.wordpress.com/2009/12/29/craft-felties/
“In Felties: How to Make 18 Cute and Fuzzy Friends from Felt, crafters and artists alike get the goods on how to make the cutest of the cute using felt and fun embellishments. With only the most basic of sewing skills, crafters can fashion their own Feltie friends with an average construction time of only 15 minutes per pattern. Each Feltie design includes a full-color photograph of the Feltie project at hand, as well as an illustrated instructional overview, pattern diagrams, and a convenient list of every item you will need to complete the project located in a handy sidebar reference section.” ––Pop Culture Junkie http://aleapopculture.blogspot.com/2009/11/felties-by-nelly-pailloux.html
“The little guys are so very cute – sort of manga inspired with big heads and eyes and tiny bodies – I love the sun loving rat – there is a retro alien and little bears puppies and pandas – the projects are so quick that you can easily make up a whole set and make some kids very happy.” ––Whip Up http://whipup.net/2009/11/18/book-felties/
“Felt is one of those versatile materials that can be used in multiple craft projects. One of the most adorable uses can be found in Nelly Pailloux’s new book, “Felties: How to Make 18 Cute and Fuzzy Friends“. Among the palm-size stuffed toys are a retro alien, a sun-loving rat, a mummy cat and a panda. The projects are designed to be completed in a few hours and require only basic sewing techniques.” ––Honolulu Star Bulletin http://www.starbulletin.com/features/20091108_make_your_presence_felt.html
“I’ve always been a fan of plushies, but I’d never dreamed of trying to make one myself. Felties provides patterns and step by step instructions that make me feel as though I might actually be able to pull it off. The book has 18 adorable designs (my favorites include a pirate mouse complete with eyepatch and badolier belt, a mummy cat, and an alien) and providers illustrated instructions that walk you through the process step by step. The introduction provides information on the basic stitches you will need to know and tips to make the material easier to work with. Whether you’re an experienced stitcher or a novice, I definitely recommend this book for anybody looking for some cuteness – dare I say, SUPER cuteness.” ––Mr. X Stitch http://www.mrxstitch.com/2009/11/02/book-review-felties-by-nelly-pailloux/
“Ancient wisdom advises not to judge a book by its cover, but in the case of Felties by Nelly Pailloux, the sheer adorableness you see on the cover is very much indicative of what’s inside… There are 18 “cute and fuzzy friends” total, each with a personality and charm all its own. The introduction to the book teaches any stitches you’ll need in the book, with helpful illustrations. The first page of each project has the template pieces drawn out, and you trace and cut them out to make your pattern. The instructions are clear and simple, with room for personalization.” ––Craftzine http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/10/book_review_felties_by_nellie.html
