Creative Cloth Doll Making: New Approaches for Using ... (ISBN 1564969428)

Creative, modern ideas in this book.:
This is the second Culea book I've purchased, and I got this one primarily because I really like her first one. I'm new to doll making so I find the patterns and suggestions very helpful to get the creative juices flowing. This book also has a doll pattern as well as instructions for creative embellishments. One caveat: While this book is great for me as a beginning doll "artist", I don't think it's for a beginning sewer since the instructions tend to give you a broad outline of each process (not detailed steps.) On the plus side, the book has lots of illustrations to help you understand the instructions. It's also filled with photos of Culea's pattern interpreted by many "guest" artists. For me, this is definitely one of the more fun doll books in print right now.

Super Doll Crafting Advice:
Purchased this paperback and absolutely had to order ALL of the books of Ms. Medaris Culea. Wonderfully illustrated, easy to follow instructions with patterns provided, I'd say the beginner to expert dollmaker would find something of interest. Can't wait to hit the fabric store and find some fun remnants!

Do it fun - do it creatively:
This is a great book, for the experienced doll maker, and the new beginner. The instrutions, with illustrations are clear and concise. Very easy to follow, very simple to use, and most of all fun. With a gallery of recognized colth doll makers, show casing what they have done with these patterns! A perfect starter book, this one should be on any soft cloth doll makers shelf.

Creative Fun in Doll Making:
I have collected all of Patti Culea's books on doll making, and had the recent pleasure of taking one of her classes. Patti makes doll making fun and exciting, as she teaches many different techniques. I felt like I was taking craft classes as well as a doll class. Her books are easily understood even by the beginner doll maker, but with enough variety that the seasoned crafter would not be bored. You can't go wrong with buying any of Patti's wonderful books. I am anxiously waiting for her newest book to be released in January 2009.
