Update! New Pattern Collection and Changes to the Freebie of the Month

A little sneak peak for our freebie of the month March 2017…

CHANGES TO THE FREEBIE OF THE MONTH:

From this month forward the freebies of the month will be called ‘Pattern of the Month’ and they will be available as a free download for the first 2 days of the month (so that every time zone on the planet will be covered for the beginning of the month) and after that they will hop in the shop and will be available there.

All freebies that have been released up until February 2017 will remain available for free on my website: www.samidolls.com/en/free-patterns

I’ll let you know when the March 2017 freebie is available

See you soon!

Where to buy all the supplies to make a Sami Doll?

Alright, I’ve purchased your pattern. But where do I get the materials to make a doll?

I think the question I get asked the most is where to buy all the supplies to make a Sami Doll. I made a video with all the links to the shops that I frequently shop at a wfair while ago, but some of the links are outdated by now and the video is probably so far down on my channel that it was well overdue to make a new one.

I have also been working on a new page for my website with a list of links to all the supplies you will need to make a Sami Doll. Here it is: https://samidolls.com/en/supplies/. I also made a quick video introducing the new page: https://youtu.be/rIl-yZl1PIY
It will make life so much easier for you and for me to have this page. You and me will be able to just take a look at the page and get all the supplies we need and I can link to this page from now on. Win win. It took me a fair while to put together, but it is so worth it.

If you can think of any other online shops or tips where you purchase your doll making supplies, I would love to hear from you, so I can update the page. Thank you so much.

Have a wonderful day!

How to receive your PDF patterns after checking out

Have you had a successful checking out experience on the new website yet?

It was a long drawn out decision to say goodbye to Etsy and start over on my own website with everything Sami Dolls in one place.
I love the community on Etsy, I love the unique offers and variety of handmade items on Etsy, I love the exposure on Etsy and it was a bit scary to me to say goodbye to all this community support and start off on my own on my own website.

But I really wanted to create a user friendly experience for you, a one stop shop for everything Sami Dolls.
Many of you have already taken advantage of the free pattern downloads, the video tutorials on the website, the ‘contact’ form (Thank you to all your sweet messages!) and the easy downloads directly from the website after checkout. No more complicated links to click or waiting around for emails. You can download the patterns immediately on the website after checkout. But let’s have a closer look at the 3 options you can use to receive your patterns.

Over the last few weeks I have received quite a few emails about people wondering how the new website works and how to receive your order after checking out. A lot of you have already checked out successfully and hopefully enjoyed working with the Sami patterns.

To make things easy for you, thought I’d make a quick video and message about how fun and easy it is to check out on the new website.
For those of you who prepare to watch a quick video with screen recordings of me demonstrating how to access your patterns, click here: https://youtu.be/eYDC7WkEP_s

And here are the 3 options:

Immediately after checking out via Paypal or Credit Card, you are redirected to the website and can see your patterns with links ready to download the patterns. You can click directly on the download link and it will automatically start the download to your device, or you can right click on the link (on a computer) and choose the folder you want the pattern to download to.
After checking out you will receive an email to the address you entered during checking out and can access your downloads via the links in the email. Clicking on the link will start the download to your device automatically.
If you create an account on the Sami Website (free, no strings attached), you can access all your past purchases in one place and re-download all your patterns as many times as you’d like.

I hope this was helpful and will make the pattern shopping experience a fun one 🙂

I’ll see you very soon with the new free pattern for February!

Have a wonderful day!

Welcome to the new website and online shop! Sami Dolls

It is finally here! The new website and online shop are live!

Over the last month and a bit I took a crash course in website and online shop making and created the new website. It was a very steep learning curve and I still have a lot to learn, but I am happy with the result.
From now on there is a ‘one-stop-shop’ for everything Sami Dolls.
No more searching around YouTube for the right video, on the website you can watch the videos and find the link to the matching pattern next to it.
No more jumping between the blog, the Etsy Shop and Youtube, as you can find everything in one place: on https://www.samidolls.com
No more losing your pattern or your past patterns, as you can now access all your past and present downloads in the ‘My account’ section and re-download your orders, even if you purchased them a long time ago.

I hope you will like the new website. I made a video introducing the new website, which also includes a Coupon Code for 20% off on the website as a ‘Grand Opening’ Special 🙂

You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/ggxTVyvJDvY

I am looking forward to hearing from you via the new website.
