Welcome to Waldorf dolls world!
This product is designed for 12-inch (30 cm) dollmaking, ideal for intermediate crafters. You will receive two types of patterns: one for a simple, one-piece Waldorf-style body, accompanied by video lessons, and another for a doll body made from several separate pieces, with a PDF tutorial. Through these lessons, you'll be able to sew two Waldorf-style dolls using different techniques. The one-piece body offers easy assembly, creating a soft, natural look, perfect for a first handmade doll. The multi-piece body design improves the doll’s posture and realism, with darts connecting the feet smoothly to the legs for stability and a neat appearance. This combination of patterns makes the doll lifelike and easier to assemble, enhancing your creative sewing skills.

The product includes:
  • 2 Patterns of 12 inch (30 cm) doll (a simple one-piece body pattern + a doll body made from 3 parts pattern);
  • 2,25 hours video lessons of step by step dollmaking for a simple, one-piece Waldorf-style body;
  • PDF tutorial for a doll body made from 3 separate parts.

There are lots of pictures to guide you through the steps. But you need basic sewing (machine and hand sewing knowledges) to making a doll. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the tutorial.
