I love making dolls.

Hi, I am Elissa and I design doll patterns to help you confidently make your own handmade dolls with satisfying results. I have been crafting rag doll sewing patterns since 2012. Pictured: Tiny Woman Doll (top left), 18" Rag Doll (bottom left), and art dolls (all sold).

I also create small batches of cloth art dolls. When available, you will find them in the Art Doll shop.
