I challenge you to scroll down without feeling overcome with an urge to yelp, "Awww!"  Don't worry, you're not weak, it's simply an impossible task. Download the complete project instructions here, or follow along below, courtesy of Baby Stuff by Aranzi Aronzo.

Aranzi Aronzo claim to be a Mexican-Japanese man working at a securities firm and a Norwegian Vietnamese-Indian man who plays the tambourine full-time. They are actually two sisters who create mischievous fun with their adorable crafts and hilarious comics.

Hi, we're Aranzi Aronzo. This book teaches you how to make things you'll need for your baby. Well, maybe your baby won't really need them, but they're things that might be fun to have. Pregnancy is a magical time unlike any other. Having a baby is hard work but there will also be plenty of things that warm your heart. Each day is like a fun adventure. Make the things in this book while thinking of your baby, your relative's baby or even your friend's baby.

April 8, 2009 at 3:33 a.m. SukiEtsy

I have this book and also _Cute Stuff_ by the same people and they are just full of incredibly cute little things to make!

I've done a sweet jersey bear without using a sewing machine and several finger puppets so far... I'd love to do this duvet but think I'd need to learn how to use a sewing machine... no?

For the person who wants a grown-up one... just enlarge the pattern on the photocopier... do it!

I am in the process of making this as a quilt. The animals turned out to be adorable. I used the fusible interfacing and then used a blanket stitch around the animals. I can't tell you how cute it is. So original looking! Thank you very much!
