Thanks to everyone who has emailed recently about the doll pattern I've been working on. Finally, it's ready. Twelve pages of patterns and directions to make a doll like these, plus two different smocks/dresses and a pair of trousers. I decided to go down the PDF route, and it is available right here. Once you've completed the checkout process, I will email you the digital file within 24 hours. So you can print it out at home and get sewing sooner. Quick, and easy. That's the plan, anyway.
Oh, and one more thing. I have fussed around like an old chook trying to get this just right, but 15 years as a graphic designer has taught me that no matter how much fuss, now and again something sneaks through the proof reading. So please let me know if you find a mistake or if something doesn't seem quite right.
Ok, that's it for the shop talk for now. Promise. And thanks again.

Good luck with the pattern. We still love ours, she is so sweet. Thank you so much for my lovely fabrics too.

Oh, I am so excited! I've peek into your blog for the past couple years and love seeing the progress on your beautiful dolls - and now a pattern!:) I am a graphic designer too, and understand about all that "fussing". Enough is enough I say!...then I mull it over again... and again! I'm heading over to your shop now! Love your beautiful dolls!

What a gorgeous idea Fiona. I can see them stocked in fabric and craft stores around the world.
Funny, I've always admired the graphics on your blog, but I never knew you were a graphic designer.

This is so exciting! Congratulations!
I do hope this is the first of many patterns (could the monkeys be next?)
I'm off to add this to my birthday wish list. Thanks a million!

Hi Fiona, I am excited to make this pattern, but I do have a question. I was wondering if you could suggest an online source for wool flannel? It seems like there are various weights (and wool content) and I was wondering what you use.
Thanks!!

Hi Fiona
I received my pattern and I have the same questions as Meredith regarding the wool flannel.
Thanks

It is my first time visiting your blog, and I bought your pattern straight away. Such lovely dolls, I can't wait to make one! Thank you for sharing your creative vision.

Lovely pattern - thank you! Ditto to comments from Meredith and Nancy re the wool flannel. I am ready to start one too but need some more information on the fabric to use! Thank you!

Thank you for offering this pattern up for sale. I have been trying to buy one of your dolls for ages, but keep missing out. I have an 11 month old daughter and I am now looking forwards to making her one of your dolls!

I'm looking forward to making one with my DD9, and for my little niece.
Absolutely adorable!
