Fabulous book!
Totally recommend this book. All the pattern pieces are full size so there is no messing about up scaling. The pictures are really good and the instructions are easy to follow, even if it's the first time sewing. I've made 3 dolls so far and they all turned out great if I do say so myself. All the dolls and clothes are hand sewn so a sewing machine is not needed. If you're thinking about starting sewing as a hobby I totally recommend you won't be disappointed.

Lovely book
What a beautiful book. This book is not only attractive to look at but it has been designed well. The images are good and the photography is excellent. These lovely little dolls just beg to be made. They are so very sweet. Going to be making some for the granddaughters very soon.
