PATTERN RATING: The patterns are of very stylized shapes- and various groups of toys can use pattern pieces interchangeably, i.e., take your generic toy, stick long ears on it for a rabbit, or flop ears for a dog, etc. The pattern pieces given are gridded when they need to be enlarged to help the crafter. Pattern pieces have few to no markings.
INSTRUCTION RATING: The instructions are broken down by body part, and have good illustrations to go with them.
SUMMARY- There are some interesting "retro" toy shapes here, and you can definitely tell the vintage of this book by the "funky" fabrics the designer used to show off her toys!
