Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know Japanese to enjoy Dollybird?

Not at all. Dollybird is packed with beautiful photography and styling inspiration that you can enjoy just by flipping through. For articles, interviews, and pattern instructions, a translator app like Google Translate will help you get more out of it.

Does Dollybird Vol. 25 include sewing patterns?

Yes. Patterns cover Ex☆Cute, Hetalia, and more. Keep in mind that patterns use a mix of photo instructions and illustrations. Sewing from the illustrated patterns takes a bit more patience, especially if you are newer to doll sewing.

Is Vol. 25 a good introduction to Ex☆Cute?

It covers the second half of the Otogi no Kuni collaboration series, which was created to mark the 10th anniversary of Ex☆Cute. If you are already familiar with the line, this is a good volume to have. If you are new to Ex☆Cute, Vol. 23 is where the series begins.

Where can I find older Dollybird volumes?

eBay is one of the best places for out-of-print volumes. CDJapan, Etsy, and Amazon Japan also carry Dollybird books. See the Complete List of Dollybird Magazine Books for the full index.
