This Book will teach you how to sew a variety of adorable round Mochi-shaped styles. With some practice, it’s super easy to modify their pattern into any character design you can imagine. They are also a perfect fit for Cupcake cases! And satisfying to squish. --> Turn your knowledge into profit! You are allowed to sell plushies made with and based on this book - as long as you simply provide credit. This is meant for artists operating on a hobby/ small business scale, not mass-production.

Basic sewing knowledge is recommended - passionate beginners are also welcome to give it a go. --> Content for various skill levelsThis book comes in two parts!
