Little Dolly Dot Doo Dah Pattern Book to make a 15″ (38cm) Waldorf inspired doll

Little Dolly Dot is another of the doll patterns in the delightful Polly Dolly Doo Dah Waldorf inspired doll range.  Designed by the talented Sherrill Church, we think this is one of the very best doll patterns out there!

This full colour pattern book contains everything you’ll need to create pretty Little Dolly Dot 15″ (38cm) and has over 43 pages (which includes 5 chapter sections) along with 120 photographs.

The full colour instruction book takes you, step by step, to make and sculpt the head, making Dolly’s body, creating a sweet little face, attaching the yarn hair and making her dress, underskirt and underwear.  The pull out patterns are printed full size on a premium quality paper.

There are also instructions for every little intricate detail such as sculpting her face, stitching her eyes and mouth, attach her hair cap and adding her locks.  The pattern is suitable for anyone with a basic knowledge of sewing both by hand and using a sewing machine.

Maybe you’ve tried to make a Waldorf doll before and have had difficulty in producing a perfectly shaped face. Little Dolly Dot is a modified version of the traditional Waldorf doll and the instruction manual provides you with detailed descriptions and photographic evidence on how and where to place the tying strings to sculpt the facial features into the most endearing little character. Measurements are also included for string placement to help you even further.
