### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Charming, charming book!
*by K***Y on November 21, 2023*

I know this book has. been out for a while, and I know there are outstanding reviews. So it's hard to add anything to all that. But I had to jump in the pool of happy buyers because it truly is a little work of art! Not only are the characters adorable, but the clothing is SO cute! There are some sorta short-cuts to sewing that at least makes it easier. (VERY important!) I've seen the techniques in Japanese doll sewing books and always wondered why U.S. designers didn't try and make their pieces easier to sew. (At the least for small dolls, although the technique is the same for larger dolls clothes.) It might use up a tad more fabric, but it cuts so much time off the sewing process and keeps you from having your sewing machine eat your fabric. So this way of sewing if worth a ton! I don't know if I'll ever get good enough to embroider the adorable faces. But that's okay. I have to focus on the clothing because really, Shelly is a genius! There's a darling piece that is a raglan sleeve design. Most people string elastic through the collar area, but Shelly created a band instead so the fabric gathers most lovely into the band. It's really pretty and much more professional. Also, the overalls. Specifically the pant leg part. SO much faster and easier. (I won't give it away.) And then a cute top that is all one piece instead of having shoulder seams then trying to pull those thick pieces through. The possibilities for creativity are endless and the frosting on top of the cake is the fact that the pieces are correct as they are. So no increasing with a copier! My only disappointment is there is not a dog included. Lots of other animals like cat, deer, bear, mouse, elephant, fox, deer, lamb, unicorn and lion. But no dog. That's kinda a big deal for us dog lovers. So I'll have to put my creative cap on and come up with a face that looks like a dog. Other than that, the book is perfect and I'm kinda sorry it took me so long to buy it! Good going, Shelly! xx

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doll making 101  Easy to follow.  Beautiful dolls.
*by C***N on September 4, 2024*

I love, love this book,, the pictures, wonderful step by step directions, many pictures on how to make each doll, and she even recommend items to use that really help. Eleven dolls makes it hard to decide which one to do first. I love the embroider ideas, and the construction for the clothing. Full size patterns included.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous book!
