Dolly's Day — Our Story

I'm Sheryl.  I wanted to learn how to make clothes.

What a minefield!  It seemed to me that to learn to dress make, I had to do it 'on the job'.  Because, yes, sewing is one of those things you ave to actually DO to begin getting better at it.

Hot off the press ... a UK EXCLUSIVE mini Dolly kit for Christmas with crafting giants Create & Craft TV!  

I made each Dolly and then personalised them to look like a few of our favourite Create & Craft Presenters ... But can you guess who is who? 

My biggest stumbling block, and the one thing that held me back when I began sewing many moons ago was CONFIDENCE!  Me, the bubbly TV craft guest sewing presenter.  Couldn't sew one stitch.  Nuh-uh, not one!

Hey! So you know those things that you rummage around your sewing room for because they are indispensibly useful - well, I've made you a video of my top 5 sewing room must haves. EDIT *yes, I call the tweezers pliers HAHA, I know!* Here it is:     These are my top five in a nutshell: Bobbin keepers - little rubber bungs for the top of your thread spools to keep thread and bobbins together and ready for action! Pinking Shears - Just the best thing since, well, normal scissors!  Great for clipping curves and stopping fabric edges fraying. ...
