Every kid loves stuffed animals, and Carolyn Hall's love for children shows clearly through the time and care she's put into every realistic animal pattern featured here. From armadillo to lion and monkey to zebra, sewers will have fun following the detailed step-by-step instructions for creating 26 soft, stuffed playthings for their favorite children. Each pattern was thoroughly tested to ensure that the average sewer could easily create most animals.
The animals made in this book are actually very realistic. I found the first one difficult to follow (the elephant) because I was unfamiliar with the technique but once I figured out what I was doing it became easier with each animal.
I enjoyed this book. I've sewn about half of the animal patterns so far, and I've been pleased with the results. However, I found the instructions confusing and/or unclear in places. Overall, the book makes a great addition to the shelf in my sewing room!
