The book features 7 sewing patterns for 16-inch animal dolls and their beautiful vintage style clothing.

The clothing patterns have been designed to be very detailed with lots of tailored garments like waistcoats and shirts.

The animals all have their own back stories that are reflected in their outfits which really brings their personalities to life. Bertie Bear is an antiques dealer and wears his waistcoat and peaked cap with pride. Eli and Elisha escaped from the travelling circus and now they make a living by harvesting apples for their delicious apple sauce. Emma and Byron the Highland cows live in the manor house on the edge of the village and Sapphire Fox runs the millinery shop and enjoys showing off her fine clothes when she’s out and about with Chester Fox. Full-size templates for the dolls and their outfits with detailed step-by-step instructions and diagrams are included in the book so you can get sewing straight away. Like this:Like Loading… Related
