    Are these dolls hard to make? It looks like they are fairly small and I wondered how hard it is to do the arms and such. You did a great job on them and they turned out so darn cute!

    These dolls are not hard to make. Dolls and Daydreams has both sewing patterns and embroidery machine patterns. I do the embroidery machine ones because I have an embroidery machine, but the sewing ones are not hard either. They all come with a PDF that has very good instructions, with lots of pictures.
    The mermaids in the pictures are 16" tall, and the small one on the bottom right is 13" tall, so they aren't to small. I have also made the smaller ones. The patterns all come with 4 different sizes.
    If you have ever thought about making this kind of thing I would try the Dolls and Daydreams web site. Like I say, they are pretty quick and easy, and they turn out so darn cute.

    The dolls in the picture are 16" tall and 13" tall. All the hair is made with Minky except for the one that is in the lower right corner, and she has fleece hair.
