 NOT the same as the book July 31, 2008
I have the book and the kit and they are not the same. As it says in the description, there are 15 patterns--10 new, 5 from the book. The new patterns are:
Japanese Cherry Cake, which is a fancy version of Party Cake from the book
Little Penguin, which can be seen on the cover. (Round, cute penguin! Yay!)
Hambone, a stuffed ham, which is completely adorable and enough reason to buy the kit as far as I'm concerned.
Little Elephant,seen on the front. There's also a pattern for a little bird to sit on his back
Deer iPod Holder--self-explanatory
Chick in a Bonnet--seen on the cover. Quickly made from felt, she's be perfect for an Easter basket.
Sparkle Bunny--a felt, highly embellished bunny.
Gingerbread House--a small, felt gingerbread house that I am totally going to make out of black felt and turn it into a Halloween house.
Charlotte with Her Fedora--seen on the cover, an adorable chick with beaded eyelashes who seems very pleased with herself and her hat!
Birthday Banner--a banner made from felt.
Patterns included from the book:
Paper Doll Dress--2-D felt dresses
Treeling--stuffed tree
Ice Cream Sandwich--an ice cream sandwich
Dorian the Dog--a teeny embroidered dog
Party Cake--a small stuffed cake
Also included are materials to make Party Cake--a sheet of pink felt, a sheet of white felt, stuffing, white and pink embroidery floss, one needle, and a tiny pom-pom in a little plastic bag that gets lost really, really easily, so keep an eye on it.
The new patterns are as cute as the ones in the Softies book, and I don't mind having 5 repeats; since the instructions are on cards in the kit that makes it easier to take them along.

I liked the kit very much! It's great because have nice explanations, the patterns ate cute and it's fantastic to get started at softies. As a suggestion, I would like to have more pictures/designs for some tecnichal sewing points for people like me that doesn't have english as first language and they are starting to sew. But in the end I made it and I loved my first softie, made with this kit. Great idea! Recomend for sure!!

The kit is the same as the book except for the format and the felt, thread and stuffings included in the kit. Luckily, I don't own the book but has seen it at the store. The patterns in this kit are in laminated card format.

Softies Kit: Instructions and Tools for Creating 15 Plush Pals
I bought Therese first book - Softies. It had very useful information on how to make a softies with many pattern. Her second book Softies Kit is even better for beginner. No need to shop around for fabrics, tools, accessories, threads, needle. Everything you need is in the kit to help you to start a fun project.
