Great Beginner Dollmaking Book!, May 9 2002
This review is from: Teach Yourself Dollmaking: Simple Techniques and Patterns for Dolls and Doll Clothes (Paperback)
I love this book! I am a beginner sewer and dollmaker and I found this book to be easy to follow and understand. I can't stop making the adorable pocket dolls Jodie teaches in this book. TEACH YOURSELF CLOTH DOLLMAKING has a lot of cute little dolls, in color, featured throughout the whole book, created by different students and readers who used Jodie's patterns. It is fun and inspirational to see the many different kinds of dolls created from the same pattern. What I like most about the book is how the reader/dollmaker can create their own individual doll with it's own little personality. If you are new to dollmaking like I am I highly recommend this book! Easy to follow and easy to do!

A wonderful place to start making dolls!, April 16 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Dollmaking: Simple Techniques and Patterns for Dolls and Doll Clothes (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful place to start to learn how to make soft dolls. The patterns and instructions are well written and easy to follow. After following the author's patterns, new ideas were easy to incorporate. I have made angels and dolls for all of my family. Every Christmas, an angel inspired by this book looks down from eight different trees. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to start making cloth dolls.

Fabulous for beginners, Feb 1 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Dollmaking: Simple Techniques and Patterns for Dolls and Doll Clothes (Paperback)
This book is a godsend to those who want to learn about cloth dollmaking. Each step of making a doll, from basic sewing, to making the face or hair, to choosing fabrics and making clothing is covered in great detail. There are also patterns included for several dolls, each slightly more advanced than the one before it. The patterns cover several types of dolls - simple pancake dolls, a baby and 2 toddler dolls, and fantasy type dolls. It's definitely worth owning, even if you are an experienced dollmaker
