On Sunday 6th September Steffi and the team from The Makerss will be hosting another sew-along tutorial using a project from her latest book, Making Soft Dolls: Simple Waldorf Designs to Sew and Love.
Join Steffi in making your own Max/Mimi doll with a Facebook Livestream tutorial as part of the Creative Craft Show Live virtual tutorial workshop weekend. Watch the event here.
You can use the book to source your own materials or buy specially created doll making packs from The Makerss. The packs that accompany the project include all materials needed – just add yarn for the body, so the clothing colour and texture can be completely personalised.
