This first book, Sew Me, Love Me (shown above ), was the one I ended up deciding to buy (with my 40% off JoAnn's coupon!). It's a very cute book and I'm gaining inspiration already. The rest of these are on my wish list...
Make Your Own Misfits is a fairly new book that's been talked about all over the plushie blogosphere lately. The Craft: Blog actually had a giveaway for this book when it first came out a couple months ago, but, sadly, I did not win it.
There is a book called Stray Sock Sewing that came before Stray Sock Sewing Too (the book shown above) but I didn't find it in the JoAnn's book section.
Socks Appeal
Plush-O-Rama
This book, Wild and Wonderful Fleece Animals, isn't the typical quirky, offbeat plushie book, but I think I could learn a lot from it and adapt the projects to my own style (and it comes with patterns!).I can just bide my time and gradually build up my plushie book collection. The frugal part of me wants to just check these books out at the library, but...
#1: For books like these, that I will probably be referencing them a lot, it would be so much nicer to own them.
#2: The libraries near me don't carry any of these books
#3: I could place a "hold" on one of the books if I find them in the Nioga Library System (basically, if another library in the system has the book, I can have them send it to my local library so I can pick it up)...BUT...
#4: Most of these books are "new" and you can't place holds on "new" books. Blech.
***EDIT: I tried placing holds on a few of the books (just to test it out), and I just successfully placed holds online for "Socks Appeal", "Stray Sock Sewing" and "Stray Sock Sewing Too"! SWEET! I guess they're not "new" anymore! ***
