There have been so many cute dolls made with my animal doll sewing patterns over the past couple of months! It's been wonderful seeing all the pretty Spring colours you've been choosing to make them 

I love seeing your dolls and sharing your photos in my Instagram stories. I save them to the highlight folders on my Instagram profile page, where you can go to see them any time you need some doll-making inspiration

Each month my daughter Seren, who is 11, has the fun job of choosing a handful of her favourite photos for me to share here. She picks one photo as her Maker of the Month. The lucky winner receives a sewing pattern of their choice from my website   

Keep reading to see which photos she chose in April and May and what she liked about them

It's always inspiring to see how many dolls have been created using my animal doll sewing patterns. I'm so thankful for the community we have built together and for everyone who has shared their beautiful creations. Don't forget to check out my Instagram profile to see the rest of the photos that were shared over the past couple of months for some serious cuteness!  

Maker of the Month

Seren had a hard enough time choosing a small selection of dolls to feature in this post, never mind selecting her favourite! After changing her mind what felt like a hundred times there were a couple of dolls that she kept coming back to that really stole her heart 

I will get in touch with Nicole and Blanca so they can choose their free patterns! Congratulations ladies!  

If you have made a doll with one of my sewing patterns this month don't forget to share it. There will be a new sew-along coming up too. I'll share the details through my Instagram page and the Facebook group 

You can share your photos by...

• Tagging @studioserenpatterns on Instagram
• Tagging @studioseren on Facebook 
• Emailing patterns@studioseren.com or sending me a direct message through one of my social accounts
• Sharing a photo in the Studio Seren Facebook community if you have ordered one of my doll sewing patterns
• Including a photo with a review on my website or Etsy store

I try my hardest to include all the photos that are shared with me in my Instagram stories. If I've missed your photo please let me know and I will share it and make sure it is included the following month when Seren chooses her Maker of the Month. Please be aware that if the doll you have made infringes on another designer's copyright your photo will not be shared 

I always publish a blog post to announce the winners of my Maker of the Month or Sew Alongs before I reach out to the winners personally. So, if you receive any messages claiming that you've won a prize from me, please check my website before responding. Sadly, some individuals create fake accounts and pretend to be businesses running prize draws, aiming to deceive followers into sharing personal and bank details. Please know that I would never ask you to provide personal information to claim your prize. If you have any doubts or concerns, please reach out to me at patterns@studioseren.com before responding to any messages

I appreciate you taking the time to share your creations with me. Words cannot express how much I love seeing them or how much they inspire me to keep creating!

Lots of love and happy sewing
