There have been so many cute dolls shared by the Studio Seren community the last couple of months! It is lovely to see that the summer sunshine hasn't stopped you sewing
I love seeing the dolls you make with my animal doll sewing patterns. No two dolls ever look the same and I love to see the fabrics you choose and the little details you add to them to make them your own!
I share your photos in my Instagram stories throughout the month, saving all the photos in the highlight folders on my Instagram page. It’s a great place to go if you are looking for inspiration or just to see the wonderful work of our community
At the end of each month my daughter Seren, who is now 12, has the fun job of choosing a handful of her favourite photos for me to share here on my website. She selects one of the photos as her Maker of the Month and the person who sent it receives a free sewing pattern of their choice
