Are You Ready to Join Us?
We’re so excited about running these Doll Making Workshops and we can’t wait to meet my like minded doll makers who we’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 we’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 this workshop you’ll be supplied with all the doll making components including a pre-made dolls body and the inner head ball. Plus you’ll have the ready made crochet chain and cut mohair lengths for her hair along with stuffing, gauze and wadding, etc.
By the end of Day 2 you’ll marvel at the beautiful creation you’ve made and will be taking home a dolly to cherish.
We’ll have extra items available to purchase on the day such as dolly dresses, shoes, petticoat, panties and knitted cardigans.
Other retail items will be available for purchase on the day with a 10% discount especially for you. Nice!
