Sew Your Own Dolls

Follow Louise Kelly’s projects to make a doll for all your friends – get creative with their outfits, hair, facial features and accessories.

In Sew Your Own Dolls there are girl dolls and boy dolls, casual dolls and fancy dolls, and even a doll in pyjamas! There are four basic body and head shapes and infinite possibilities for making them unique. Maggie is going shopping wearing a chic navy dress coat and carrying a glitter clutch bag, Louisa is having a casual day and is dressed in jeans, a flannel shirt and baseball shoes, and dapper Hugo is a cool sailor in a striped top with tattooed arms. There is a doll for everyone, and each one has full-size templates for the body shapes and outfits, and simple step-by-step artworks and instructions to help you on your way – the only difficult part is choosing which one to make first!
