Aranzi AronzoBaby Stuff: Let's Make Cute Stuff

I bought this book as I loved the "Cute stuff" book and thought it might be more of the same. There are some nice ideas in it, but not as much content as I'd hoped. It's a pretty thin book and some of the pages were stuck together in the copy I bought, so just as well I wasn't giving it as a present. Still, very cute, and could be a nice present for a handy mum to be.

Quite disappointed with this book.

Super cute and easy to make projects, and the step-by-step drawings are very cute too.

Cute book, pity patterns have to be photocopied to enlarge to correct size. Some good ideas for being creative with baby stuff.

Baby Stuff contains familiar characters from other Aranzo Aronzo books but also many new ones too.The book includes finger puppets, bibs, a bottle holder, drawstring bags, a towling bear wipe, embroidery ideas, a cute alphabet and many more projects. Many of these projects are not just for babies but could be used for older children or even fun adults.The designs are clear enough for beginners (including children) but are also original enough for experienced crafters. Projects are normally quick to complete and do not need lots of special equipment or fabric.Thoroughly recommended.

perfect little ideas to make stuff for babies.easy to understand and for everyone to understand.different tipps and tricks and the pics are just amazing :)Love it. Also a good idea for a gift.

I think "cute" is, to a degree, a matter of opinion. I think the great majority of people would agree that the projects in this book are very cute - and the way the book is written is very cute as well! On top of it all, I love how easy to follow the instructions are. I feel like a child could pick up this book, read it and easily make the things in it because it's so easy to understand and follow and the patterns are fairly simple. I'm not a fan of having to blow up patterns, personally, but only because we don't have a printer/copier so I'd have to make a trip to a copy shop or something in order to do it! Otherwise, I like this book. And not all of their patterns need to be blown up, several are 100%. I wish the book were a lot bigger with a lot more projects, though! I hope they make a second baby stuff book. I plan on making most of the things in this book, I'll admit. :) The diaper covers are adorable and very simple so I feel like I can totally pump out a bunch of them in different sizes which is great. The bib is adorable, especially the bandana bib, the finger puppets are super cute and I made one very quickly and easily and it looked exactly like the one in the book! I wouldn't call myself a beginner with these sorts of crafts but I'm by no means an expert, I've never taken any classes or anything and I think just about anyone in the world can follow these instructions and successfully make this cute stuff. :)

This book is just a TON of fun! We got it yesterday, & last night my 15yr old daughter made Rabbity & Panda (Panda is from the Cute Dolls book). Today, she is making Silky Kay (also from Cute Dolls, same author ~ also a great book!). Yes, they are that fast & fun! Now that's a kid who is crafty & likes to sew. One could foresee this outcome easily. HOWEVER ~ My 16 yr old daughter who is NOT crafty & does NOT enjoy sewing ( but, whom, through homeschooling, must still fulfill her ~home ec.~ requirements, which include competently using a sewing machine & understanding pattern parts, with a demonstration of finished products)actually LOVED going through this book, and believe it or not, is right now cutting out the pieces for towel creatures & Pig. Yes, Pig is also from Cute Dolls. Hmm, this is turning into a review about Cute Dolls, too! Ok, so BOTH of them are fantastic books! After reading through the many reviews on here, the three Aronzo books we decided on were ~Cute Dolls, Baby Stuff, & The Cute Book.I have made, just last night & today, 2 small felt rabbits & 1 small felty sheep from Baby Stuff. These are SOOOO adorable, they are easy, and can be used to decorate gifts, as key chains, to bob off of a backpack or cell phone or purse, a doll for Baby, or even a desktop mascot. They really are THAT cute. I will upload some pictures of our finished products in a bit, so you can see just how fast, easy, and CUTE these little dudes ( & dudettes ;-D) are. Plus, they are FAST! AND the books are QUIRKY ~ and again....CUTE. My daughters were reading through the books laughing, planning what to make & laughing some more ~ I'd call that a definite A++.Oh, & get this ~ even my 13 yr old son ( whom must also complete a home ec. requirement.... can't have boys who don't know how to at least mend their scout shirts!) was thinking "...it might not be too bad to make a few of the toys.. I mean, if he HAD too, & he could give them away to his little cousin... oh hey, he might like THIS one, and look, this one is ok... I might be able to do this one, too, Mom."Yeah, that's a definite A+++++!!!

I love Japanese crafts! And what's more perfect for baby!? I have a bunch of projects earmarked for when my baby chills out a bit and I can actually get a few things done. I went out in a limb on this book because I had no idea what was on the inside. But when I got it I was pleasantly surprised. As a fashion designer by trade, I think all of these projects look fairly straightforward for anyone,

This book is too cute for words. I love it's whimsy. It's inspired me in many of my crafts and because it's been such a good solid book, I have continued to purchase more of their books as they have been published.

I really enjoyed this book. I haven't sewn anything in over 10 years but my first project came out very well. It was a gift for my friend who loves rabbits (I uploaded a picture of the finished bunny) and she can't stop raving about it. The captions are hilarious and I will be doing more projects soon! It was easy to change up the patterns to get different results.

I like to make cute stuff and this book is great for it. Easy instruction and very cute book.

Great, and simple designs.

The books from these ladies are as fun to READ as they are for project ideas. And the illustrations - clever! Leaving the instructions open to design changes allows the crafter to keep the creativeness going. Cheers!

The things to make in this book are really cute... They are easy to make and will make a child really happy to have them...

I am expecting a baby and I bought this book because I love making baby items.I just loooove this book. It is one of the most adorable sewing books out there. I have other books by Aranzi Aronzo so I knew when I bought this book, this wouldn't dissapoint me.Lots of cute projects to make for baby!!Love it.

this book is to die for! if you know some one who is having a baby, has babies or you yourself are expecting, get this book! it has some of the cutest baby items inside that would make any mother walking down the street that your baby is cuter than theirs...lol!

Cute project. Easy to follow, Clear instruction, recommend to beginner (like me) to med level.

After all the great reviews for this book, I was left very disappointed. This book seems very unprofessional. The little cutsie instructions were actually confusing to me. They seemed almost childish. It is annoying also to have to enlarge some of the patterns. I just felt this book was cheaply done. I expected more useable items like blankets, burp clothes, booties, diaper bags, etc., after all it is called baby stuff. So where was the baby stuff? It's all little cutsie animals - some not so cute. I did give it three stars because it is not a total loss. There are several cute patterns in it. Not my favorite book, though.
