Hear what recent customers are saying:

"Very easy to follow, wonderful instructions and photos. Abby is a true professional and I look forward to making more of her wonderful softies." -waflady55

"Just wanted to take a minute to say how much I love your patterns! I knit and crochet, but not good at sewing at all. But because of your patterns, I have been able to make my youngest 2 kiddos several toys for holiday and birthday gifts. I've made the mermaid, the pirate, the girl doll, the popsicle, the chick/egg, teddy bear and today I completed the shark (which I was scared to do) I hope someday to be better at sewing, but making your dolls gives me confidence. I am a huge fan of yours. Thank you for sharing your talent with us all." - Kathleen

"Super quick! I purchased and it was in my Etsy account within minutes. Love all the pictures and detail." -Lisa of 5OrangePotatoes

"Great pattern, easy to follow, and awesome results! I used wool sweaters and organic bamboo velour and it worked awesome." - Marny

"Beautifully detailed pattern, easy to make for someone new to fleece sewing! Thanks so much!!!" -EllieC

"Just wanted to let you know I purchased the Hadley the Horse pattern a while ago in order to make a specific stuffie. I just finally got around to making him this past weekend and was thrilled with how easily he went together. I literally finished all but the minor details within a few hours and believe me, that's a BIG deal for me, as I'm not all that patient a sewer. The pattern was SUPER easy to follow and my stuffie turned out great!" -Kim H.
