Melanie McNeice is the talented Australian pattern designer of Melly and Me. She creates adorable sewing patterns and fun fabrics, so we can create our own handmade items to share with family and friends.
Here is her newest book…
Fun of the Fair!!
This book is filled with adorable circus themed stuff animal patterns for you to create, sew and cherish!! You can sew your own pony, elephant, lion, seal and monkey. The patterns for each design are clear and concise with step by step directions, pictures and tip and tricks along the way.
All the animals are so cute, but these seals have to be my favorite!! They are the perfect huggable size for any little one, finishing at 10 inches tall and 12 1/2 inches long.
Ok, wait…the monkey is my favorite too. That face, oh that face. It's like he's looking right at you ! Lol The patterns for the bow and his little shorts are also included!
My daughter Courtney loves elephants and this little one is on my "to do" list to tuck in her Christmas stocking. Did I mention my daughter is 23 years old. These cuties are great for all ages…young or old. The elephant comes in 2 sizes too.
The book has all the templates you'll need too. By using different fabrics and trims, the design possibilities are endless!!

I love the Elephant (I actually love them all). I use Melly and Me giraffe all the time. I make them as presents for new borns. Would love to win, thanks for the chance. karen.schulz@paradise.net.nz
ReplyDeleteThe elephant is adorable, especially with that colorful squares fabric! The book sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great book! What darling projects! I'd have to say the seals are my favorite today! Maybe the lion for my favorite for tomorrow, or the monkey...lol!
ReplyDeleteLove them all, but the lion is a favorite of mine. Dahlgren0609 at Gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteThey are all so cute! The monkey, owww, so lovely!
ReplyDeleteYay Australia! I think I love the monkey the most ....or maybe the seal pair. They are very cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness!! How to pick a favorite? They are all so adorable. I would choose the seal, too, because of my love for the ocean. I've been looking at different softie patterns, thinking I'd like to try one, and I can see that this book is a must if I'm going to wander that path!! Thanks for the review and all of the links.
ReplyDeleteThey're all so adorable, but I'd have to say the monkey, followed by the elephant. He's so cute! Thanks so much for the chance to win this great book! :0)
ReplyDeleteSuch a difficult decision as I love them all .... yet, if I have to choose, I love the Monkey.
