If you are interested in trying your hand at dollmaking, here would be a good way to get started! These are pretty simple little dolls, because you can print out the faces on printable fabric. All you have to do is color them in. They are so cute! They are "Shoe Fairies" that are sleeping in lavender filled sleeping bags. You tuck them into your shoes to make them smell good. Adorable! You can go to Toronto to take the Green Man class. If you want to learn how to make these little shoe fairies, you can download Colleen's FREE tutorial online! I think these would make great Christmas presents!
Again, this is offered by Colleen Babcock of The Magic Bean. She has taught the dollmaking classes I've taken. She's awesome, and so are her classes! If you're in the Toronto area maybe you can go to the Creativ Festival October 21-12, 2011, where she'll have a booth. You can also take a class from her there. (Remember, Colleen lives in England, so you can't always take classes from her in North America!)
Oh man are those cute - I'll have to link to it next tutorial post! Thanks Stephanie!

Am I the only one to think the doll in the red hat looks like Swt P? I thought it immediately.

Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for blogging about my tutorial. I'm so glad you like them. Just wanted to clarify though that I won't be teaching the Little Sneaks at the Creativ Festival at all. I'll be teaching the Green Man and Dive Into a Book which you can find out more about here: http://www.csnf.com/f11_dollmaking.html
Just don't want to lead anyone astray! Thanks again. And the red hatted doll does look a lot like Sweet Pea!
