Japanese Craft Book: DIY Teddy Bear Book

I love reading different DIY Teddy Bear books from different countries, because it is so cool to see different styles of different bear artists.  I own American Bearmaking books and Taiwanese Bearmaking books, and now I got my first Japanese Bearmaking Book.

Japanese DIY Teddy Bear Book
I really like this book, it has a lot of teddy bear patterns for different materials like mohair fabrics, quilted fabrics or just regular fabrics.  Also it has different sizes of bears as well.  The best part is that it comes with Full Size patterns, I don't need to resize it.  And it teaches you how to make clothe for teddy bears, but it doesn't come with patterns, I wish the book comes with the cloth patterns as well, not just showing you how to make it.

Japanese Crochet Book: I want to try Irish Crochet Lace Book

I always love Irish Crochet, and the Japanese Irish Crochet Books are always good.  Japanese really know how to design beautiful Irish Crochet Pattern. 

Irish Crochet is not as difficult as you think.  Especially if you can find Japanese Irish Crochet Book, because all Japanese crochet books are in Crochet Chart.  With Crochet Chart, it makes Irish Crochet super easy.  When people think about Irish Crochet, first thing in their mind is Flowers or Motifs.  But actually there are a lot more that that.  You can crochet sweater, cardigans, purses.

Here is one of my favorite Japanese Irish Crochet Book.  Full of beautiful and elegant patterns.

You can buy it at my Etsy Store.

Japanese Crochet Book - Crochet Lace Doilies Patterns Book - 40 Stunning Patterns

This is my favorite doilies book ever, the patterns are stunning, and I love it comes with crochet charts.  I have so many vintage doilies books, but I never really crochet it, even though they are gorgeous.  It is because the written instruction always confused me.  I hate written instructions.  I think last several crochet projects I did are "charted".  None of them are written instruction.

Anyway, it is available at My Etsy Store

Are u ready for the beautiful patterns????
