About this title: What's the big new phenomenon, making lovable stuffed monsters! Influenced by the popularity of Japanese anime and video game culture, urban illustration and design, plus the do-it-yourself craft movement, these designer plush toys are everywhere - even museum stores. Yet they're simple to sew. Just take fabric, a needle, thread and stuffing, combine a touch of cuteness with a dash of utter weirdness and you've got one of the oddest, most irresistible creatures ever. And these 30+ projects - including furry, green-lipped Monkey; Greggles, who sports a coif of tentacles - are as much at home ...

"This is a very random book of stuffed toys and that's why I like it. The creatures in it are really strange and vary from a Monsters Inc. type standard monster to something you can't even look at straight. There are twists on "normal" items in our world, for example we have Llorie the Bipolar Cloud, a cloud that is light and happy on one side, dark and angry on the other and grouchy Catzilla. There is also the gingerbread men, each of whom has a bite taken out of it. There's a duck with pig legs, a two-legged ice cream cone, and an apple tree. There's a monkey that looks like a child's drawing was taken and then sewn together. Then there are the random Gregoire whose mouth makes him a handbag, gremlins, and Felix Von Schnapps who looks like random bits of fabric were sewn together.
Most of the creatures are cute and would make any imaginative child happy. A few are really more for adults, and then there are a couple where I was just left thinking, "hunh?"
If you like to sew alternative types of things this is a book you might enjoy, although truthfully, once you read it if you have any creativity you could come up with fun ones of your own. If you are more mainstream and like your elephants with two ears and four legs, perhaps this book isn't for you."
"I enjoy the idea of making ugly cute plushies and this book is a good idea maker. It is one of the those books that makes you see things differently. It was an ah-ha moment when I realized i could make the plushie how I really wanted to. So cool!!!"
