Dolly's Day — Inspiration

Craft really is the gift that keeps on giving.  Not only can you spark an interest in a new hobby for someone dear, you can actually spend time with that special someone making fabulous projects and passing on your sewing passion and knowledge.

There are many types of rag doll sewing patterns to chose from, but what exactly makes a great cloth doll?

My biggest stumbling block, and the one thing that held me back when I began sewing many moons ago was CONFIDENCE!  Me, the bubbly TV craft guest sewing presenter.  Couldn't sew one stitch.  Nuh-uh, not one!

If you don't fancy using glitter felt for your Dolly Fairy Dress and Wings pattern, here's a great alternative to let your inner crafty roam free using good quality craft felt and our Fairy Wing template!

A big pat on the back for these clever Dolly fans that have done a super job on their Dolly Patterns and been awarded our highest accolade - Dolly Ninja!
