In 2023, we took on a simple challenge: make something for our dolls every week.
Over 52 weeks, we sewed clothes, made accessories and furniture, repaired well-loved items, tried doll-care projects, and had plenty of fun along the way.
If you’re looking for something to make for your dolls? Browse the projects below for doll sewing ideas, crafts, accessories, doll care, furniture, and plenty of inspiration for your next make.
