It’s great to hear that many of you have enjoyed sewing my new Wedding Dress doll clothes pattern, I’ve received tremendous feedback.  Some of you have also asked how I made the wedding bouquets that my dolls are holding in the photos so I thought I would put together a little video showing you how I made these wedding bouquets.  Enjoy!

I have recently received a lot of enquiries from people desperate to find doll clothes patterns that will suit dolls other than the standard 18 Inch dolls and they are often very surprised to find that my doll clothes patterns will fit their different sized dolls without having to resize using the photocopier reduce or increase function.
