Maxitron Softie

Create a cute and quirky toy robot using Robyn Helbard’s softie pattern. It’s made from felt and embellished with simple hand embroidery, so it’s a quick and easy project when you need a gift in a hurry.

• A comprehensive materials list ensures that you’ll have everything you need to complete all three softies
• All shapes provided full size, ready to trace
• Detailed step-by-step instructions illustrated with close-up photographs and diagrams lead you through each stage of the project 
• Instructions are for appliqué straight stitched by machine, but you could adapt them to use a different machine stitch or to appliqué by hand if you prefer
• A fun gift for a child, boy or girl; there are no buttons or sharp edges, so it’s suitable even for very young children
• Personalise the softies with your choice of colours
• Includes Jennifer’s tip for using the pattern to make a female robot instead of a male one
• Suitable for beginner crafters. Some previous experience of making softies is recommended, although a determined beginner is likely to succeed
