Fashionable, easy to make toys. It doesn't come better than this. Could be made for a gift for a friend, children, or to spruce up the home. The best part is how easily customisable they are. Choose a few different fabrics, patterns or colours and its a totally new creation.

Wish there were more "Softies" in the range of books. Highly informative.

I found the instructions in this book NOT EASY to follow. It may be fine for those that sew quite a bit, but for new sewers or those who haven't sewed in some time, the instructions weren't too clear. You have to really read each "step" as otherwise you may miss something. Definately something they could improve on. Otherwise, there are 22 softies to make, including two that are knitted - including a 'Jack Sparrow' look-a-like!
