Polly Dolly Workshop Southampton – 15th & 16th November 2024
Polly Dolly HQ, Holbury, Southampton SO45 2LF
Ready to Join Me?
I’m so excited about running these Doll Making Workshops and I can’t wait to meet my like minded doll makers who I’ve come to know and love on our Facebook Group.
Let’s sit and sew together, one stitch at a time and chat endlessly about everything Polly Dolly Doo Dah!
As you can appreciate we have a lot to get through over this 2-day intensive course and I’ll be demonstrating each and every element along the way. You’ll then have the opportunity to replicate what’s been shown, having me right by your side to guide and advise.
On this workshop we’ll be making the smaller version of Polly Dolly – Little Dot size – at 38cm height.
At the end of Day 2 you’ll marvel at the beautiful creation you’ve made and will be taking home a dolly to cherish.
A pre-made outfit is supplied for you on this workshop consisting of a sleeveless dress, in your own colour choice. I’ll have extra items available to purchase such as shoes, petticoat, panties and knitted cardigans.
Other retail items will be available for purchase with a 10% discount especially for you on the day. Nice!
