Stella is up for a $1 auction in the Sami Group now:https://www.facebook.com/groups/496284950388111/

20″/55 cm Stella is a big sister kinda girl. She loves to look after the smaller dolls in the house and keeps them in line when they get too cheeky and silly. Only very rarely does she allow herself to participate in the silliness. But when she does, she is the giggliest of all, for sure.She enjoys reading books with her new mum or dad, looking out of the window on a rainy day and she really hopes her new family likes pancakes. That’s her favourite. With fresh strawberries and maple syrup.
Her skin is De Witte Engel cotton jersey, she is stuffed with corn fiber, her clothes are made from cotton, her undies from cotton jersey and her hair and her shoes are acrylic yarn.

A visit to Farm Animal Rescue

Today I visited the lovely animals at Farm Animal Rescue (Australia)​ in Dayboro, QLD, Australia again. In the background you can see Heather, a gorgeous pig. I learned that pigs are among the 10 smartest animals on the planet. And they most resemble humans. When you touch their skin, it really feels like touching a hairy human 😉


I found this on NBC news: 
“Pigs are perhaps the smartest, cleanest domestic animals known – more so than cats and dogs, according to some experts. But pigs don’t have sweat glands, so they roll around in the mud to stay cool. A sign of their cleverness came from experiments in the 1990s. Pigs were trained to move a cursor on a video screen with their snouts and used the cursor to distinguish between scribbles they knew and those they were seeing for the first time. They learned the task as quickly as chimpanzees.”

It is so fun to meet these amazing animals in person. Thank you to everyone who supports my business. You are helping me help the animals.

Heather is one of the lucky ones. She was rescued from the meat industry and gets to live out her life in this beautiful place. She is one of the fitter ones. Some of her other pig friends at Farm Animal Rescue have been bred by the meat industry to be so large so quickly to maximize profit, that they have a hard time walking around or even standing up. The pig house is at the bottom of a steep hill and some of the pigs never make it up the hill. But Heather is a sporty one. She gets up that hill and socializes with the funny humans who want to touch her and take pictures with her.

It was a great day.

The Classic Sami Doll Pattern is out!

The pattern is finally available! Here or on Etsy.


You can buy all 6 doll sizes separately, or all in one.
You can find video tutorials for most of the sewing steps on my YouTube channel already and I will be uploading many more videos over the coming days


After months of pattern designing, learning how to work with vector images and editing programms, testing and re-testing the pattern, sewing dolls, taking and editing pictures… it is finally here.


This pattern is really special to me. It is the one I use myself and it feels a bit like the “crown jewel” of my patterns (so far, who knows what’s still in store ;))


I am hoping to be able to offer kits with all the necessary materials soon, but I am sure you crafty ladies know most of the secret material sources already wink emoticon

Happy creating!
