I have this DVD and it is so wonderful! I am a novice when it comes to sewing and doll making and I've always been intimidated by the books and written instructions for making Waldorf dolls. This DVD is perfect for the beginner!

After watching the attention to detail and the close-ups, I am not intimidated anymore and am confident that my children can make their own dolls as well! (They're 13, 10 and 8) The videography is excellent and the close ups are extremely helpful in understanding each step.

Sarah takes her time and patiently guides you through each step so you don't get confused. I think this is one of the best instructional DVD's I've ever seen!

I also ordered easy-to-follow downloadable patterns at her website www.sarahs-dolls.com . You can order the DVD there for less.

I highly recommend this DVD!

I have watched this entire dvd and it was fantastic. Sarah had a lot of charm and her instructions were so wonderfully clear that even my 9-year-old daughter was able to make her own doll. I have purchased the doll making kits and books before and my dolls never turned out well - always lopsided or the proportions were strange. After watching Sarah explain things in this dvd I realized all the little mistakes I had been making. I really think this is a "must have" for any Waldorf parent aspiring to make dolls for their children. Wish this had been available when I first started to make dolls many years ago!!!!

Sarah's dollmaking DVD is a great video for beginning dollmakers. I have very little sewing and no dollmaking experience, and her instructions are clear and to the point. The fact that she's Australian adds charm to the video, because Sarah is really fun to listen to, as well! I'm very happy with this DVD, and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to make Waldorf dolls.

This DVD is wonderful! Anyone who has ever had an interest in Waldorf doll-making owes it to her(or him)self to check it out. Sarah thoroughly explains each step of the way, and her down-to-earth, friendly manner is refreshing. I truly enjoyed viewing this DVD. My children (16 and 8)watched it along with me, and enjoyed it as well.

Very nice video. Good production values. Good content. It would be nice to know that you need a pattern to go along with it. She's very precise with her measurements sometimes, then neglects to even mention a measurement in other section. but overall enjoyable and very clear about how to make the doll. the gallery of finished dolls is soooo cute, as is the end where the children are playing with them.

Before viewing this DVD, I struggled to make a Waldorf doll using a book with scant instructions. The DVD shows you how tight to make the head, how to correctly measure and weigh to get symmetry and how to crochet a wig - and I love the way the hands are shown as if they are your own hands! This is better than doing a course, because you can go at your own pace, you can stop and start when you want, and you don't have to worry about getting a babysitter in so you can attend one.

I was disappointed with this DVD. I didn't feel there was enough content to satisfy all my questions. Since purchasing this DVD I've learned a lot more about the construction of a Waldorf doll and feel this DVD is lacking.
