FAQs
I’m a beginner. Are your patterns suitable for me?
Yes, our patterns have been designed with beginners in mind. You do not need any experience making dolls,but the patterns and instructions assume you have basic knowledge of sewing skills, and that you have the basic sewing tools. Tutorials are very detailed with step by step instructions for each step and lots of illustrations and photos, and newer patterns have a video of a complete process included. Maybe you could try to begin with: If you have a sewing machine, pa link za cuddly i malenu bebu sto ima i video and if you are hand sewing, try this pa link za bunny,bear and fox trio.
Do I need a sewing machine to make your patterns?
In our sewing patterns section you will find tutorials for both machines and hand sewing. If you like some of the patterns that require a sewing machine, you can hand sew them using back stitch, but please note that can be time-consuming.
Is seam allowance included in your patterns or do i have to add it myself?
Seam allowance is ¼” (0, 7 cm) and is included in the pattern. Only hand sewing patterns and small sized patterns don't have seam allowance , but the process of sewing is detailed explained and that is noted in the item description. To save you any potential confusion, patterns just have the cutting line drawn. Instructions include both metric and imperial measurements.
