Create beautiful, embroidered dolls with easy cross stitch patterns and simple sewing techniques. First, choose your doll from one of the 20 delightful patterns included, then stitch your front and back panels.

This simple process means you can make a beautiful handmade doll with the minimum of skill or experience, creating a treasured heirloom that, if cared for, will last for generations. The 20 doll patterns include a wide range of skin tones, hairstyles and clothing with the option to change any of the colours to suit your own tastes. Additional patterns at the back of the book give further options for alternative heads and garments so you can customise the patterns and make your own unique dolls.
