Digital Doll CarrierEasy to follow pattern. Got a bit confused on the first one about wear to place fastenings as the instructions and picture didn't match. All good on number 2!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Doll carrierMade three of these as soon as I got the pattern! Very easy; simple instructions to follow. Only problem was that I was mailing them as gifts, so didn’t have the actual child available to position the buttons. I “borrowed” a friend’s child and place two sets of buttons on. Hopefully one will be the right size. I had the pattern to the child’s bucket hat from Oliver+S and have made 15 - 20 hats for family & friends.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Doll carrierEasy to follow and I really enjoyed making it. I didn't use interfacing and used long strip's of Velcro instead of buttons for my 2.5yr old. She is still young for it but with baby #2 on the way I'm sure she will want to use it more when I use my baby carrier.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Lovely little projectFun and easy little project. Pattern and instructions were good - a few more pictures along the way would be beneficial for a beginner sewist. Will be making lots of these for little people in our family.2 of 2 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful? -
