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!

About 5 years ago I made myself a key fob like this from thick felt fabric. It lasted really well and it actually still looks really good. But I wanted something new and wanted to use some of my favourite fabrics this time around.
I just realized that I missed to add the head circumference for the Star Babies. Head circumference is always a very personal thing depending on your personal sense of aesthetics. When making dolls, a smaller head in relation to the body represents an older child, while a bigger head in proportion to the body represents a smaller child.
Our tree needed a skirt, so I thought I might as well use the opportunity to make a seocnd free pattern for December 2016.
