Loveable Stuffables from 1977 and the follow-up Stuffable Playmates from 1979 are two craft books with patterns for home-made stuffed dolls. They were published by Zim’s Inc., an arts and crafts supplier that closed in 2008 after 62 years in business.
The typeface used on the covers and for the names of the stuffed creatures are set in all-caps Revue. For “Loveable Stuffables”, some letter parts of Colin Brignall’s 1968 Letraset classic were extended to form over- and underlines.
The artwork (presumably of the dolls and animals) in the first book is credited to David Roberson, with photography by Kelly Petersen.
