A crocheted bird … a felt monster … a cat made from an old sweater … so many different materials can be used to create softies, the hottest craft movement to hit the scene! The publisher of Somerset Studio, Sew Somerset and Altered Couture is thrilled to announce our newest semi-annual publication, Stuffed: A Gathering of Softies. We enthusiastically invite you to submit your own loveable and huggable softie creations for possible publication. Stuffed will be filled with pages of gorgeous photographs, easy-to-understand tips and techniques and an endless amount of inspiration. You will find new and exciting things to try when creating your own softies that will transform them from dolls to loveable works of art. Just a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing: Don’t limit yourself to just animals. Softies of all nature will be accepted. Presentation is key. We will be looking for softies that have that little extra something. Play with different materials. Try mixing a few of them together. Experiment with creative packaging or try creating a home for your softies. Please send your submissions no later than June 15, 2008 to: Stuffed, 22992 Mill Creek, Suite B, Laguna Hills, CA 92653.
