Molly Dolly Workshop Chorley – 21st and 22nd June 2025

Lesley’s Private Residence, Chorley, Lancashire PR6 8SB

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 a Baby Molly Dolly 36cm height.

At the end of Day 2 you’ll marvel at the beautiful creation you’ve made and will be taking home a baby dolly to cherish.

We can supply you with the doll skin to make your dolls body prior to the workshop or you can opt to purchase a pre-made one. The same applies with the mohair for her hair.  As a workshop attendee we have these items available to you at a wholesale price.

I’ll have extra items available to purchase on the day such as Molly outfits, nappy and socks.

Other retail items will be available for purchase with a 10% discount especially for you on the day. Nice!
