Maker of the Month - September - Studio Seren

Maker of the Month - September

The best thing about designing animal doll sewing patterns is seeing all the dolls that you make with them! There were lots of beautiful bear, bunny, panda, dog and cat dolls shared in September. It is so inspiring to see them all in one place. There were even a few wolf and fox dolls made with my new sewing pattern which was exciting. 

Each month I collate all of the photos that you share of the dolls you have made using my patterns. My daughter Seren, who is 11, gets the fun job of choosing one person to be crowned Maker of the Month. That person will receive their choice of one sewing pattern from my website. They can wait until I launch a new sewing pattern if they already have all of them. Read on to find out who she chose for September!
