Today is the day. (Gasp!) I just listed a new Snuggle Doll sewing pattern in my Etsy shop.

It's a new pattern that I spent the past two months working on and I'm beyond excited (okay, and a tiny bit terrified) to share it with you.

A kind group of mamas tested the pattern for me over the past three weeks. Here is what one pattern tester had to say about it:

"[The Snuggle Doll Sewing Pattern] is seriously the best pattern EVER–I should have expected it from you but nonetheless delighted at your humor and loved your encouragement and the reminders that seeming imperfections are ok.  If I had followed your pattern the first time I made a doll, I would have felt way more courageous and convinced from the get go that it would actually work."

Kind words! I hope those of you who have been mustering your courage to sew a doll for your child will give it a go.

To celebrate the new pattern enjoy 15% off of anything in my Etsy shop! (Yes, finsihed dolls included.) Just use coupon code "CELEBRATE" during check-out. (Good through October 31, 2014.)

Thanks for cheering me on, friends.

Love,
Rachel

Edited to add: Because not everyone who wants a doll in their family has time or interest to make one, I added just a few custom (finished) dolls to the shop. You choose the skin, clothing and hair color and I sew it up for you. You can find them here. Enjoy!
