A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.

I wonder if Richard Scarry did the illustrations in “The Hat Book”. Looks like his work… Love it so much!
There was a whole line of “shaped” books like that one when I was a kid…I had many of them, including, I think, the one you pictured here.
I loved those books.
Always fun for me to run across something from the past not thought of for decades. Like a lil sentimental truffle tucked away, there it is, The Hat Book!
Old books are definitely what I tend to purchase the most of at yard and estate sales. Love the vintage look and feel of them and if I was going to be really honest…the smell!
