I have loved dolls, sewing, floral arrangements, and crafts since I was a little girl. I was always making or sewing something and always wanted to design my own dolls. Finally, I was able to do so by creating Linda Walsh Originals and designing my own doll patterns.My passion is for the fashions of the Victorian Era and I would have to credit my grandmother for that. When I was a very young girl she gave me a very old print of Godey’s Fashions for August 1870 that belonged to my great, great aunt Flossie (see the picture below). I was captivated by the dresses and from that moment on I was hooked.
In fact, sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era. From that moment I wanted to make beautiful Victorian dolls and create my own Victorian doll patterns. If you click on any of my Victorian doll pattern pages you will see that my Victorian “Lady” dolls are all faceless. Why are they faceless? I made them this way because I wanted each to have its’ own distinctive personality. My feeling is that faces overwhelm the dolls personality and, therefore, have a greater impact on her personality. I wanted the clothing, hair, accessories, color scheme, etc. of the period to determine the personality of the doll.
In our family most of the women think the Victorian Dolls should be faceless, while the men think they should have a face. For those of you who are doll history buffs, many cultures over the years have made “faceless” dolls as they believed that faces contributed to vanity and a “faceless” doll showed that beauty truly lies within. I hope you enjoy making my Victorian “Lady” doll s and hope you agree they should be "faceless."I have also been a genealogy buff all my life and wanted to find a way to honor some of my family’s ancestors so I decided to name most of my patterns after them. Hopefully, somewhere they are smiling.
I don’t think I've met any woman who doesn't still carry a soft spot in her heart for the favorite doll she had as a little girl. I know I do. My problem is that I've never seen any doll I didn't love. For me, I love all dolls. New, old, seasonal dolls, primitives (the uglier the better), Raggedy Anne and Andy, it doesn't matter. So, I designed a wide variety of different doll patterns, as well as some craft patterns. My doll patterns are designed for all those grown-up girls who are still little girls in their hearts. My dolls are meant to be loved and displayed as decorations by grown-up girls in their homes and are not intended as toys or products for use by children. My doll and craft patterns range from easy for beginners to difficult for the advanced seamstress who wants a challenge.
My Linda Walsh Originals doll patterns include: Victorian doll patterns, Victorian Raggedy Ann and Andy doll patterns, primitive doll patterns, primitive Raggedy Ann and Andy doll patterns, colonial doll patterns, country doll patterns, snowmen patterns and snow-lady patterns, bridal doll patterns, scarecrow patterns, witches and ghost patterns, Frankenstein patterns, angel patterns, graduation doll patterns, Santa patterns, pilgrim doll patterns, baby doll patterns, woodland doll patterns, little boy doll patterns and multiple craft patterns.The Victorian “Ladies” are faceless but, the rest all have faces. Some of the faces are drawn, some are painted on, and some are embroidered on.
All of my doll patterns are available as either print patterns, Instant Downloadable E-Patterns or Emailed E-Patterns. What’s an E-pattern? It’s just an electronic version of a print pattern sent via email or instantly downloaded by you on our website. Please click on E-Patterns for more information on my E-Patterns.
I also have an E-Catalog which contains pictures of all my doll patterns as well as their print pattern price and E-pattern price. My E-Catalog is a .PDF file that is available for you to download and read using Adobe Acrobat. It is available on my Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns website under E-Catalogs.
All of my patterns come in a plastic reseal-able bag and contain a digital photo on the front cover, listing of supplies on the back cover, written instructions, diagrams, and individual pattern piece sheets. The instructions and diagrams are written so that you can follow them in steps, one after the other, from start to finish. The pattern piece sheets are all individual full size pattern sheets. Please click on Pattern Examples for more information.All of my doll patterns are classified as to their degree of difficulty. There are three levels which are as follows: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each classification has a symbol which is shown on myPattern Classification’s page and each pattern is now labeled as to their degree of difficulty with the appropriate symbol. If you would like to see a complete list of all my patterns and their respective classification and symbol. Please visit my Pattern Classification’s page.
Also, I now offer FREE patterns and FREE craft, sewing, or small business related articles. Please visit my The Best FREE Crafts Articlesblog for all the FREE Articles I have written and visit my Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns website for all my FREE E-Patterns. I hope you enjoy the FREE e-patterns and FREE articles.<

What Makes Our Patterns The Best?
When it comes to selling products everyone claims their products are the best. It's hard to know what's true and what isn't. If I were to tell you that our patterns really are the best you'd probably just shake your head and say, "ya, ya, ya." Well, the truth is they really are the best!"
So, I thought I'd do something a little different. In order to make you a believer I thought I'd actually show you, "What makes Linda Walsh Originals Doll Patterns So Wonderful?"
In order to answer that I'm going to show you exactly what all our patterns and e-patterns contain with some illustrations and then explain to you why our patterns are so great for any skill level. We have patterns for beginners, intermediate, and advanced skills. And, many of our patterns can be made by children with adult supervision. Once you see what we have to offer you can decide for yourselves whether or not ours are the best.
Our doll patterns and craft patterns were designed to make it easy to follow sewing the doll or craft from beginning to end whether you are a beginner crafter and/or sewer or an experienced crafter and/or seamstress. Everything and anything you need to know are all contained within the pattern.
And, depending on your skill level you can utilize just the instructions sheets, just the diagrams pages, or just the pattern pieces themselves to make the doll or craft. Personally, I don't like reading written instructions as much I like following pictures. But, most of all, I like putting things together just by using the pattern pieces. Kind of like a jig-saw puzzle. But, that's me.
So, I thought I'd include something for everyone - those who like written instructions, those who like pictures or diagrams, and those who just want the pattern pieces.
So, here's what you get:
The Front Cover
The front cover includes a digital picture of the doll, the Pattern #, doll size, doll’s name, and doll description.
The Back Cover
The back cover lists all of the supplies needed to make the doll, including where each of the supplies is used within the pattern (listed in the parenthesis). It also includes our business information, copyrights, and legal information concerning the use of our pattern.
Pattern Instructions
The pattern instruction sheets list in detail the sewing instructions, additional pieces to be cut, and the instructions for putting the doll together from start to finish. The pattern instruction sheets follow the diagrams sheets from beginning to end and include many references to the diagrams pages. The pattern instruction sheets also reference each pattern piece by its name and each pattern piece edge by its label. It also includes a bare minimum of pictures so you get the idea without breaking the bank with toner cartridges if you choose to buy one of our e-patterns.
Diagrams Sheets
The diagrams pages are computer aided or drawn examples of putting the doll together from start to finish and show you how the doll should look step by step. They follow the pattern instruction sheets from beginning to end. They are usually on one or two pages. The idea is to give you a quick look at the start to finish process in a minimal amount of pages so, again, you won't break the bank in toner cartridges if you've purchased one of our e-patterns. The diagrams sheets could easily sit next to the sewing machine while you're sewing as a quick and easy reference.
Pattern Piece Sheets
The pattern piece sheets are all full size page sheets. All of the pattern pieces are named and indicate the number of pieces to cut. The edges of all the pattern pieces are labeled as to edge placement and what sewing is to be done with that edge. If the edge is to be sewn to another pattern piece then the edge contains the name of that specific pattern piece. The fold lines, sew lines, and cutting lines are all indicated as well. Our pattern piece sheets are all single sided full size page sheets and none of the pieces overlap one another or need to be reduced or enlarged.
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced crafter and/or sewer you should be able to easily follow our pattern directions for making the doll. If you like to sew using written instructions then just follow the sewing instruction sheets from start to finish. If you like to sew using pictures or diagrams just follow the pictures or diagrams outlined in our Diagrams Sheets from the first diagram straight thru to the last diagram. If you like a challenge and like to just put the doll together from the pattern pieces you can do that as well.
We have classified our patterns into 3 groups - B = beginner, I = Intermediate, and A = Advanced. The patterns classification is shown on their purchase page so you know before you buy the pattern what the it's classification is. Our patterns can be used by beginners, intermediate crafters and/or sewers, and the more advanced or experienced seamstress or crafter. If you'd like to see the complete pattern classification list for all our patterns please CLICK HERE.
Our print patterns are all folded so they fit nicely in a 6" x 9" plastic sleeve. Besides the plastic sleeve and price, the only difference between our print patterns and e-patterns is the first page of the .PDF e-pattern file is shown like the picture above and the front cover and back cover are turned sideways to make the e-pattern foldable to 6"x 9" size - just like the print pattern.
If you'd like to see one of our e-patterns and download it just CLICK HERE. It's a FREE e-pattern from Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns and is the e-pattern illustrated above. The link will take you to the page that "Marsh Me Snow" is on in my instant e-patterns website which utilizes a shopping cart. From there you just add it to your shopping cart and then follow the prompts to check-out. Once you finish the check-out process you'll be sent an email containing the download link for the free e-pattern. Then, just copy/paste the link to your browsers window, download the .PDF file, save it to your computer and then open it in Adobe Acrobat.
So now, hopefully, you have a good idea as to what our patterns contain and what makes them so wonderful.
Now, I have a question for you. Why not try one of our patterns yourself?
Come on. You know you want to.
And, when you do please send us an email and let us know how you liked our pattern. We'd love to hear from you.
Better yet, send us a picture and we'll post it on our Linda's Blog.
Happy sewing.
The Pro's and Con's of E-Patterns
I've been selling e-patterns for close to 7 years now and have found myself thinking a lot lately about e-patterns, the future of e-patterns, and trends I have been noticing. In doing so for some reason the movie and the soundtrack to the 1966 movie by Sergio Leone "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" kept springing to mind.
Now I know I'm dating myself with this movie, but now that I've mentioned it to you can't you just hear the soundtrack with that really eerie twangy music playing. I'll bet it will be in your head for awhile! LOL LOL It stayed with me for the whole day.
In any event, in thinking about e-patterns I was thinking of all the good - the positive aspects of e-patterns and decided to make three lists. The Good - which is all the positive aspects of e-patterns. The Bad - which is all the negative aspects of e-patterns. And, The Ugly - which is disturbing trends with e-patterns these days. And, of course, the main reason for my post - why my e-patterns are better.
Here's The Good:
1) First of all, you save time and money (both of which are a rare commodity these days).
2) Time because you either get them instantly or you get them emailed within 48 hours.
3) Money because E-Patterns generally COST A LOT LESS then regular patterns mailed via the post office.
4) They are complete patterns sent to you over the internet as a .PDF (portable document format) file which means they can be downloaded directly to your computer. You can view or print them anytime you want with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is already loaded on most computers you buy today or and is also available as a free download from Adobe.com.
5) They can either be sent to you via Email or they can be instantly downloaded depending on the website you purchased them from. If you order an emailed E-Pattern then an Email with a .PDF (Portable Document Format) attachment is sent to you which you then need to download to your computer, save, and then open in Adobe Acrobat.
On some websites if you purchase a single "instantly downloadable" e-pattern the .PDF file is instantly transmitted to you after payment has been made. You can then download, save the .PDF file to your computer, and then open it in Adobe Acrobat. On some websites you are sent an email with the download link.
Or, if you "instantly download" several e-patterns at once via a website that uses a shopping cart (like mine) then a confirmation email with multiple download links is emailed to you once payment has been made. You can then download each of the .PDF files, save them to your computer, and then open them in Adobe Acrobat.
6) There's no waiting for the postman to arrive. Or, worrying that the dog is going to bite the postman.
7) Since you can save them on your computer you can view them over and over again.
8) Because you can save them on your computer you can print them over and over again. No more photocopying pattern piece sheets. Just print whatever pages you need.
9) Because they are in .PDF format this means they can be read by most e-readers like: Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, Apple's IPad, Sony Reader, etc . In my opinion this is a wonderful benefit to e-patterns for the future. Most of us who sew keep the e-patterns right next to us while we are sewing. With an e-reader you could download the e-pattern to your e-reader and keep the it right next to you while you are sewing so as to easily scroll through the pages.
Of course, you'd either have to print the pattern piece sheets out before downloading your e-pattern to your e-reader or connect it in such a manner as to allow you to print the pattern pieces.
Here's The Bad:
1) Instant download e-patterns can be problematical at times.
2) Instant download e-patterns generally allow for a certain number of tries to download and a time frame for downloading such as 48 hours. If you don't download the e-pattern within 48 hours or within 3 attempts then the download link will expire. You then have to get in touch with the owners of the websites you bought the e-pattern from and request the links to be re-set or the e-pattern to be sent to you as an attachment to an email.
3) Some of the internet email providers have not caught up with the popularity of e-commerce and e-products. E-patterns can be problematical at times with some internet email service providers. Not all email service providers have caught up with the capabilities of e-commerce and "instant downloads" which are basically computer generated emails. They tend to view all computer generated emails as "SPAM" and send them off to the email users spam account. As a result, depending on your email service provider, you may or may not get the email with the download link.
4) Downloadable e-patterns can be problematical at times. Especially if your website back end is not configured properly with the constantly changing needs of Paypal. With my new Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns website which utilizes the Mals shopping cart we no longer have an issue with Paypal.
Here's The Ugly:
1) Some e-patterns being developed by some of the e-pattern designers these days are HUGE in file size. This means they will take up more memory in the computer, take a lot longer to download, and usually mean more resolution to the pages and pictures which means it takes longer to print them. If an e-pattern is being send as a attachment to an email and if the e-pattern is too large in file size then a zip folder may be created by the email service provider. This means you will need to unzip the folder before you can read the file.
2) Some of the e-patterns being developed by some of the e-pattern designers these days are more like e-tutorials and e-classes and are filled to the brim with pictures. While this is nice when viewing the e-pattern on a computer screen or on an e-reader it can be very COSTLY to print. With too many pictures you'll go through toner cartridges like nothing. This is a major issue as one of the reasons why e-patterns are great is they are cheap. But, if you have to print a ton of pictures they won't be cheap to print.
While lots of pictures are great when it comes to e-classes I think this is a disturbing trend for e-patterns as it undermines one of the very reasons that e-patterns are great - cost savings. While you might be saving on the price of the e-pattern with some e-patterns the cost of printing them in their entirety might be prohibitive.
3) The prices of some of the e-patterns seem to be going up and up and up. To the point where the e-patterns are being priced the same as regular print patterns which, in my opinion, undermines another one of the benefits to e-patterns - they cost a lot less.
If you'd like to see one of our e-patterns and download it just click on the e-pattern image to the right. It's a FREE e-pattern from Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns and is the e-pattern illustrated above. The link will take you to the page that "Marsh Me Snow" is on in my instant e-patterns website which utilizes a shopping cart. From there you just add it to your shopping cart and then follow the prompts to check-out. Once you finish the check-out process you'll be sent an email containing the download link for the free e-pattern. Then, just copy/paste the link to your browsers window, download the .PDF file, save it to your computer and then open it in Adobe Acrobat.
Here's why our e-patterns are better:
1) We adjust the resolution of both our Diagrams Pages and Pattern Piece sheets so as to keep the e-pattern file size down to a minimum. This allows for easier downloading and printing time. Our e-patterns range in size from 250kb to 1.0MB.
2) You can buy both instant download e-patterns or emailed e-patterns from me. The choice is up to you. If you buy instant download e-patterns a download link is emailed to you once payment has been made through PayPal. If you order emailed e-patterns then they will be sent as attachments to an email within a maximum of 24 hours after you have purchased them. Generally, we send them right away. Right after Paypal notifies us of payment.
3) Our Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns website utilizes a shopping cart which means you can buy multiple e-patterns at the same time. You can then download each of the .PDF files, save them to your computer, and then open them in Adobe Acrobat.
4) My e-patterns contain a minimum number of pictures which means you won't go broke in toner cartridges trying to print my e-patterns out.
5) Our Pattern Piece Sheets are all single sided full size page sheets and none of the pieces overlap one another or need to be reduced or enlarged.
6) We try to keep our e-patterns at a 1 1/2 to 2X rate which means the price of our e-patterns (for the most part) is 50% - 65% the cost of our print patterns. There is a bare minimum cost to producing the e-patterns so sometimes this formula doesn't quite work out.
So now, hopefully, you have a good idea why our e-patterns are so wonderful.
If you love patterns and e-patterns just think of how many you can save on your computer. THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of E-patterns stored on your computer!
No more cluttering up all the drawers in your house. No more hundreds of boxes or plastic containers all over the house. Not only can you get your craft patterns right when your creative juices are flowing, but you also get less clutter and pattern organization. Progress really is being made.
And the best part of all, you can REPRINT the pattern sheets OVER and OVER andOVER again.
No more taping worn paper again. No more photocopying pattern sheets at work. REAL progress is being made.
Happy sewing.
