Page Count: 48

PATTERN RATING:Star Rating Pattern pieces are pretty well marked(though missing the grainline). You get the basic rag doll pattern and her clothing as shown on the cover, along with a few accessories not shown. Pattern pieces are full-size and would be easy to photocopy out of the booklet.

INSTRUCTION RATING:Star Rating Instructions are very well broken down and come heavily illustrated to help the sewer - I'd happily recommend this book to a novice.

SUMMARY- This booklet concentrates on making one rag doll, and does it extremely well. I recommend this book for anyone trying their hand at ragdoll making for the first time.
