  • Goodsie-powered store of the day: Dolls and Daydreams

    Artist and storeowner Sarah Hanson designs fun and easy patterns for soft toys. Her store Dolls and Daydreams offers complete step-by-step tutorials for handmade dolls in printable PDFs. Sarah recently took time to tell us about her crafts and new online store.

    “I love handmade and not just any old handmade, but superior quality designed to look professional and last,” Sarah told us. “My designs are made to provide a high quality finished doll with no visible, ugly seams. At the same time, I want them to be safe and durable so they can endure lots of hugs from kiddies of all ages, and last for years.”

    Dolls and Daydreams offers a great variety of fun patterns for dolls, softies, and character clothing. Our favorites include the schoolboy superhero and the cute puppy dog pattern. Prices start for PDF patterns start at $4.99.
