This book has everything in it for a beginner like me to make your very first doll, or ideas for the more experienced doll maker. It has step by step instructions, all beautifully illustrated with large and clear colour photos through every stage of making your doll. It starts with the fabrics, trims, yarns, tools and embellishments needed and even how to dye the fabrics and embellish them with repurposed jewellery to make it uniquely your own. It shows the fabric paints required for painting faces, with detailed photos of how to make the head, paint the face, create hair and how to sew all the body parts and clothes and stitch it all together. There are three different dolls to choose from, each with an alternative design and colour. The full size patterns for these dolls are at the back of the book so that each doll is between 16” to 18”. It’s a lovely colourful and detailed book with gorgeous, artistic dolls. The author, Jan Horrox has considered every aspect of the process and laid it out in this book for the beginner to create their own doll. I was so impressed with this book that I purchased another one by Jan Horrox, which again is a great book. I would definitely recommend this book, whether you are an experienced doll maker or absolute beginner. Just looking at the beautiful dolls in the photos is inspiring and urges you to want to make one for yourself. Read full review
