"I made my first soft toy last week, a Luna Lapin bunny.  That was fun but didn't really hit the spot. I searched and searched You Tube for small doll tutorials and hit the jackpot when I found Maria's Doll School.  I think your tutorials are great and am looking forward to making some dollies! "

Step 1 is to draw out the doll pattern onto your fabric and sew around it BUT there is a secret trick that will make your life SO MUCH EASIER! Watch and find out...
Step 2 is how to sew around your doll and the main trick here is to reinforcements certain sections to strengthen the doll's life and the wear and tear. Watch and find out where these re-reinforcements are... 
Step 3 is how to cut out your doll once you've sewn around. Many doll making guides suggest to cut out the pattern first and then sew however I recommend to do it afterwards as it saves much time and effort!
Step 4 is how to turn and stuff your doll. This may seem like a simple step but there are some very important tricks that can make this so much easier. For example I do not recommend using a chopstick to stuff with as that takes a long time and is very fiddly. Also I lack the patience. Watch and see the best way to turn and stuff your doll with the best stuffing tool I have ever come across!
