Agata's Fox Quiet Book

I am so incredibly impressed by the quiet book I get to share with you today. Made by Agata of the blog Agatownik, this book features a little fox who lives in the forest with his friends. As Agata explains, "This is not a typical quiet book. This is a big book where lives a little fox. When designing the book I focused on this to be a fun creative child and his friendship with a fox. The book is to stimulate a child's imagination. Fox has his friends in the forest, which he visits every day. He also has a room has a comfortable bed, a mirror, and clothes."

I love all of the fabrics Agata used and all of the detail she put into every page. This truly is a beautiful book and would be an absolute treasure to the child it's given to.

Agata created her book for the competition "A Child Friendly Toy," organized by the Museum of Toys and Play in Kielce, Poland (the largest and oldest toy museum in Poland). Her book's name for that contest was "Vulpecula and Friends" and it won third place in the eighth annual competition. Congratulations, Agata!

Interview

What's your name? Describe yourself in one sentence. 

Kate. I am a blogger, and public health professional work-at-home mom and I love to create. 

Who did you make this quiet book for? How old are they? 

I made this quiet book for my little man who is turning two. 

What's your level of sewing experience? 

I have been sewing for many years, but each pattern includes about 25 pages of instructions with lots of pictures so that people with very limited sewing experience can complete the pages. The pages can also be constructed using fusible webbing with minimal sewing.

Each pages takes about 5 hours to complete. 

Did you use any templates? Where can they be found?

How did you bind your quiet book? 

I use a unique idea that allows you to keep the pages all together without permanently binding them using overall clips that come from the back page around to the front. That way you can grab only a few pages if you wish OR pass different pages out to different children. 

What material are the pages made out of? 

Felt.

What other materials did you use? 

Snaps, magnets, buttons, mirror, ribbon, and a variety of other materials. 

How much did all the supplies cost you? 

Many of the supplies can be found in your stash but the total cost for all supplies is probably around $40 to make the whole book with no coupons used. 

What's your favorite page? Why? 

Adam and Eve. I think the fox is adorable!
