Taught by Katia Ferris

This class will be available to view on April 08, 2026.
Adding to the simple pants and shirt from her Sew a 14-Inch Rag Doll class, San Francisco doll designer Katia Ferris shows you how to expand your doll’s wardrobe into a one-of-a-kind collection of sewn and knitted pieces designed to inspire imaginative play. Together, you’ll sew a versatile dress, ruffle-hem shorts, and a sweet pinafore with a button closure, then knit a cozy short-sleeve pullover and matching cap. Along the way, Katia covers essential sewing techniques like topstitching, basting for ruffles, and making a buttonhole loop. This class is a true labor of love—perfect for dollmakers who delight in thoughtful details and handmade charm.
