Remember last week I posted a shape book? I've been looking at it, and it just was not right.
The stitches were too far apart; the shapes were not going to withstand a baby's antics; I did not like the printing on the cover...it was not right.
SO, I remade the book from head to toe. I used the same shapes but I think this time it's better.
First and foremost, the crochet stitch is tighter. The "pages" of the book are sewn in by a sewing machine, as were the shape appliqués to make them stronger.
I omitted to print a title on the cover. I stuffed the shapes to give them some definition to reinforce both shape and touch.
This little book I will mail to the baby--the first one I will use a prototype when I make it again.
The book now has a blue cover with a bright white snowflake on it.
Page 1 is a red circle. Each appliqué has a soft filling to give it more texture
Page 2 is a pink square
Page 3 is a green triangle
Page four is a yellow diamond
And page 5 is a green angel...because all babies are (supposed to be) angels.
That's my little shape and touch book. Tell me what you think?
