A Note About
Measurements
Measurements are given in U.S.
format with metric in parentheses.
The metric conversion is rounded
to make it easier to measure.
Before you start
All of the projects in this book require a
sewing needle, sewing pins and scissors;
some require glue. When using these things
we would recommend that children are
supervised by a responsible adult. Always
return sewing needles and pins to a safe
place, such as a needle case or a pincushion.
Please note: Keep homemade toys and
products away from babies and small
children. They cannot be tested for safety.
