Would anyone out there like to try dollmaking?  I love creating dolls from wool felt with painted faces and yarn or synthetic hair.  If you'd like to know more, visit my website -- www.TheDollLoft.com!  I just published my first book O-M-G!!!  Its called Doll Fashionistas and its all about the amazing and creative world of doll making and doll fashion.  I hope you like it!

Recently I looked and looked online for some type of cloth doll patterns to make for my granddaughters. I could only find the small fairy like dolls and it wasn't at all what I wanted. I went to a cloth store for something and lo and behold I saw your book as I was checking out. Needless to say, I grabbed it and I'm so glad I did. It is so thorough. It has exact patterns and directions with great pictures. I would have never thought of using felt. I am amazed at how detailed your directions are. No one could make a bad doll with this book. I'm going to get started on mine soon and I'll let you know how they turned out ! Congratulations on your success.
