Why beginners love it
Minimal supplies: needle, hoop, cotton floss, washable pen, and cotton fabric or plush
Printable rulers and strips that make placement effortless
Clear steps that demystify lashes, highlights, and smooth Satin Stitch fills
A gallery of Cotton Doll eye styles you can personalize
Eyes are the heart of the doll’s personality, and this book gives you many options: gentle sleepy lids, starry sparkle eyes, glossy teardrops, sharp cat eyes, relaxed smiles, and more. Pair any eye with arched, straight, or rounded brows, then finish with smiling, pouty, or playful mouths to fine-tune the emotion.
Try these combos
Sparkle eyes + soft round brows + tiny cat-mouth for a sweet, classic look
Sharp upturned eyes + straight brows for a cool “don’t mess with me” vibe
Closed eyes + side smile to capture a wink
Cheeky >ω< mouth with bright highlights for maximum cuteness
Print once—or reprint forever
Because this is a printable PDF, you can reprint pages as often as you like for personal projects. Keep the file on your tablet while you stitch and print only the sheets you need.
Print at 100% for the included 15 cm/20 cm sizes cotton doll, or scale up/down for other head sizes
Trace directly from plain paper or use heat/inkjet transfer sheets
Laminate frequently used rulers to create long-lasting reusable guides
Pro tips for clean, crisp faces
The tutorials share tiny adjustments that make a big difference:
Outline shapes first with a single strand, then fill with Satin Stitch to lock clean edges
Stitch lashes last so they sit on top and look defined
Add white highlights to the pupil to “switch on” the gaze
Back stretchy plush with lightweight interfacing to prevent puckering
Keep mirror symmetry by marking the center line of the face before placing templates
Perfect for gifts, swaps, and custom gift
Use these pages to coordinate a whole lineup of characters for craft fairs, photo props, or personalized gifts. Because the parts are modular, you can create families of dolls that match a theme—soft pastel daydreamers, bold stage performers, sleepy bedtime friends—without redrawing patterns from scratch.
