PATTERN RATING:
The dolls look good made up, and there is a nice variety. Patterns are well laid out and very well marked, including seam allowances, except instead of a grainline arrow, she has an arrow marked "stretch" instead. I'm not sure why she did this instead of teaching the standard marking, but there it is. Those few patterns that are not full-sized are gridded, and give instructions for enlarging on a copy machine as well.
INSTRUCTION RATING: This is a pattern book geared to allow older children to make their own cloth dolls, so I was a little hard on it - and it still got five stars. The steps are well broken down and heavily color photo illustrated. I had no trouble following along any of the projects.
