Book Description

Old MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O!

With a snip snip here, and a stitch stitch there, bring this beloved nursery rhyme to life in tactile, easy-to-sew felt!

From a playful pig and a cheerful chicken to Old MacDonald herself, this fun play set perfect for rhyme time and story time also includes a fold-out farmhouse for playing with and storing the characters! Based on the popular stop-motion animation by Little Woolly Vision, Old MacDonald and her farmyard friends will provide hours of interactive, hands-on play. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions and use the simple templates to create your own irresistible collection.

The book features:

  • easy-to-follow patterns for Old MacDonald, the farmhouse and all the animals, including a cow, pig, horse, sheep, cat, dog, chicken, duck, mouse and rabbit;
  • basic stitches, simple sewing techniques and very few materials;
  • full-size or easily scalable paper patterns for all the makes;
  • a fold-up farmhouse playmat to play with and store your new farmyard friends.

Booklist

With a subtitle guaranteed to get readers humming even before page one, Simi and her fellow creators of the UK-based Little Woolly Vision, a YouTube TV series of stop motion animation nursery rhyme videos, translate their vision into these patterns for making your own three dimensional playthings. Sewers will appreciate that the 16-plus patterns are made of felt, one of the easiest materials to work with, and kids will love playing with the finished products as another way to experience the beloved rhymes. Each pattern, somewhat naïve in style, follows the same structure: materials needed, occasional tips (e.g., how to obtain an even blanket stitch), and step-by-step instructions. Actual full-size templates are found in the back, with the option to download from the web. Look for the random bit of humor (such as how to craft animal "poo") and a nod to modern mores (Old MacDonald is a she).
