. There's an
interesting variety of patterns for different sorts of projects, but my focus, of course, is on soft toys - and this
magazine had a surprising number. They are gridded for enlarging, all in one place in the middle of the magazine (so you
could carefully pull them off the staples and blow them up on a photocopy machine... There's not a lot of markings
typically(there are exceptions), but the toys without exception look great made up, and there are color photos of
all of them.
