Steampunk Softies: Scientifically-Minded Dolls from a Past That Never Was
Description
Victorian aesthetic and modern crafting come together in this guide with
patterns for eight fantastical stuffies—perfect gifts for steampunk fans.
Sarah Skeate and Nicola Tedman offer crafters an array of charmingly raffish
characters inside Steampunk Softies: 8 Scientifically Minded Dolls From a Past
That Never Was. Even if you’re unfamiliar with the term “steampunk,” chances
are you’ve already discovered it through the works of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells,
Tim Burton, Mary Shelley, or Lemony Snicket. Steampunk is an artistic movement
that includes stories involving steam-powered versions of modern technology in
a fictionalized futuristic Victorian setting. Staying true to steampunk style,
Skeate and Tedman’s inventive Steampunk Softies feature prominent science
fiction and fantasy elements, as well as anachronistic inventions and props.
In addition, many have dual roles that add practicality to their punk
existence—the Lady makes an excellent paperweight, while the Illusionist’s
cloak doubles as a screen cleaner. Despite their meticulous detailing,
Steampunk Softies are simple enough for even a sewing novice to construct. A
short biography accompanies each softie, providing a background story for each
character. Also included are a complete list of supplies, illustrated step-by-
step blueprints, and a handy, back-of-the-book reference section that provides
tips on aging and distressing project materials. Venture full steam ahead into
your next crafting project with Steampunk Softies. Read more
