My Etsy Shop is Open!

Well I did it. I FINALLY did it! I opened up my Etsy store and am now selling doll patterns! (Well, one doll pattern for now...my lovely Fashion Doll.)

A bit of backstory: I opened my first Etsy shop a few years ago to sell my handmade dolls and jewelry. It didn't work out. I wasn't yet ready to be the businesswoman I needed to be to sell handmade items. I also wasn't skilled enough yet to my personal satisfaction at sewing dolls.

But it's now several years later of trial and error with my doll making journey and now I'm confident I know that I want to make and design dolls for the rest of my life. I love making patterns and testing out new dolls. It makes me happy and fulfilled in a way no other hobby ever has. I love making dolls so much, I want other people to find happiness in doll making too!

That's why I decided to sell patterns instead of finished dolls. But I may still occasionally have a OOAK doll to sell from time to time.

I currently have multiple other dolls in the process of having their tutorials written. So please check back to my shop from time to time. I'm also working on some FREE patterns to give away right here from my blog, so be sure to subscribe!

My Etsy shop is LuParisDolls. I hope you enjoy my patterns!
