Darning stitch fills an area by weaving threads vertically and horizontally, just like weaving cloth.
Known as a mending technique, it is also popular as decoration – watching the colors blend is a joy.
In this book, darning stitches are worked on base fabric, which is then sewn into small finger puppets and stuffed animals.

Giraffes, rabbits, puppies, kangaroos, cats, tigers and more – every one is irresistible, with vivid colors and quirky expressions.
Enjoy the calm of stitching away, and your finished animals are sure to become dear friends!
