Whether you're making dolls for children in your life, adding to your own collection, or exploring a new creative outlet, these tutorials will guide you every step of the way.

Each tutorial is designed with beginners in mind, but includes tips and techniques that even experienced sewers will find valuable. You'll learn proper construction techniques, finishing methods, and creative touches that make each doll truly special.

And after all, it is almost August and these dolls make a perfect gift for Christmas, birthdays and baby showers. It's never a bad time to start making cute dolls and coordinating outfits!

Head over to new Mally the Maker Doll Making Blog to get started. If you've made a version of Mally or Ms. Bunny, please reply to this email with a photo of your beautiful dolls.
