Inhaltsangabe
Create beautiful, embroidered dolls with easy cross stitch patterns and simple sewing techniques.
First, choose your doll from one of the 20 delightful patterns included, then stitch your front and back panels. Once completed, place the two pieces right sides together and sew around the outline, leaving a gap for turning. Turn it right sides out, stuff, sew up the gap and hey presto - you've made a dolly! This simple process means you can make a beautiful handmade doll with the minimum of skill or experience, creating a treasured heirloom that, if cared for, will last for generations.
The 20 doll patterns include a wide range of skin tones, hairstyles and clothing with the option to change any of the colours to suit your own tastes. Additional patterns at the back of the book give further options for alternative heads and garments so you can customise the patterns and make your own unique dolls. Stitch them for yourself as little sewing room pals, or create them as gifts for people you love - they can't fail but charm everyone who sees them.
The smallest doll is 10.5cm wide x 21.2cm high (4¼in wide x 8½in high) and the largest is 11.6cm wide x 23.4cm high (4½in wide x 9¼in high). With full-colour charts for the cross stitch patterns, and step-by-step instructions and tips for sewing the dolls, this book will have you itching to stitch cute dolls all day long!

Dolls never go out of fashion, despite the introduction of computer games and electronic toys. There’s something comforting about having one to cuddle. A doll is a best friend: someone to take with you on an adventure, tell your secrets to and have tea parties with. Part of the fun of having a doll is dressing them, brushing their hair and looking after them – and of course, creating imaginary worlds for you both to inhabit.
My aim with this book was to design a set of dolls that would appeal to grown-ups as well as children. While you may not want to play with them as an adult, you could display them on a shelf as pretty keepsakes, or keep them in your sewing room – if you are lucky enough to have a dedicated sewing space.
This book provides you with the patterns for 20 different dolls, each one in its own unique and colourful outfit. They all come with a front and back panel, which are stitched together and filled with stuffing to make a three-dimensional doll, which I hope you will treasure for years to come.
The designs are made up of full cross stitches, meaning that no tricky fractional stitches are used. There’s backstitching in some areas, to add extra details to the clothes and for facial features – but generally you should find them pretty easy to stitch.
The additional heads, torsos and legs charts in the Mix and Match section of the book allow you even more scope to customise parts of the dolls. You could, for example, swap any of the leg sections on the main doll charts with each other or choose one of the extra leg charts, or swap the hair and faces over. This gives you a chance to be imaginative and come up with your own doll outfits and new characters.
This book is a fun way to explore your inner child and to share the joy you discover with the younger people in your life.
Happy stitching!
