Overview

Design a doll with personality. Make a mermaid with tinsel hair for your daughter or a bride that looks like your friend to give to her as a wedding shower gift. Written by Jodie Davis, with tips from dollmakers across the country, Teach Yourself Cloth Dollmaking is for beginners and those looking for some new ideas.

This illustrated book instructs you how to make different cloth dolls types, like the pancake doll and the profile doll, and includes information on what to use to make the face, hair, and clothing. Special sections on stitching, stuffing, and dyeing make it easy to learn the basic techniques that go into making cloth dolls. It's simple and fun to make the dolls with the patterns provided in the book and the encouraging comments Davis makes along the way.
