We’re moving from Florida to Albuquerque, NM. All downloads are 25% to 50% off because we can’t do DVD/CDs or paper patterns until after the move.
We will have DVD/CD and paper patterns again after the move. Sale ends 5/16/2021.

Download Video Workshops! 50% off! Flash Sale Ends Sunday, 2/11/20.
We’re holding a flash sale! I’ve just finished the dowload only versions of How to Needle Model a Pretty Face, The Essential Mimi Collection, and Mimi’s Mannequins. I haven’t had time to update the web pages and Etsy shop yet, so in the mean time, you can get each of these video workshops for HALF PRICE! The sale will last until midnight Sunday, 2/11/20. If you would like to purchase while the sale is on, please PayPal the correct amount to Mimi@Mimidolls.Com and indicate which workshop you would like. Be sure to include your email address.
How to Needle Model a Pretty Face is almost 5 hours of over-the-shoulder video instructions. The sale price is $15 (regular price is $30).
* Complete 2-Day Dollmaking Workshop on Video.
* 4 hours 48 minutes of over-the-shoulder video.
* Suitable for all levels. If you can do basic machine sewing to make the seams on the skull and the darts on the face overlay, you will learn everything else you need from watching the step-by-step video.
The Essential Mimi Collection includes How to Needle Model a Pretty Face, Mimi’s Victoria Rose, 3rd Edition (multimedia), and three character dolls: Father Christmas, Happy Birthday Honey, and Jazz. The sale price is $30 (regular price is $60.)
Mimi’s Mannequins is a video workshop that teaches dollmaking techniques including comparative anatomy in designing male and female patterns, and pattern draping to make it easy to adopt clothing patterns for other dolls, or even for people to fit your own dolls of any size. The sale price is $20 (regular price is $40).
Remember, the sale runs until midnight Sunday, 2/11/20. After that, prices will go back to normal.
Order by sending a payment to Mimi@Mimidolls.Com on PayPal.Com. Be sure to include your email address. I will get back to you within 24 hours with the information you need to download your copy. Keep in mind that while these videos are only half as big as the DVDs, they still take a long time to download. If you have any questions, look at the descriptions of the DVD products on https://www.etsy.com/shop/MimidollsPatterns/ (but don’t order through Etsy — the Etsy shop won’t be updated until after the sale ends, and the prices will go back to normal).
Mimidolls Christmas Sale – 20% off, free shipping on orders of $35.
I’ve finally got the ETSY store straightened out. We added a lot of ultrasuede and other fabrics in time for Black Friday, but people complained that they didn’t need 2 yards (or 10 yards) of ultrasuede for doll clothes, so I’ve rearranged everything for fat quarters. There’s ultrasuede, wool, jersey knit, and Uki Atai fabric from Japan.
Anyway, the sale runs until the end of the year, and EVERYTHING is at least 20% off the original prices. Some of the fabric was already 50% off of retail on Amazon, and you can get most of it in fat quarters. There’s also free shipping to USA on orders of $35 or more.
In a few days, I will also be adding some of the dolls from Mimi’s collection including many by NIADA artists and ODACA artists.
Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.
Season’s Greetings!
Happy Dolling!
Jim

March Madness Sale – Mannequins & Mermaids Added, New Downloads
We’ve extended our Valentine’s day sale to the end of March and renamed it March Madness.
We’ve been working with dollmaker Maureen Swart in South Africa. The snail mail between the USA and South Africa is very unreliable, so we have set up downloads for all of our video workshops. Both Mimi’s Mannequins and Mimi’s Modular Mermaids are now available in downloads for all those places where snail mail is unreliable, and we’ve added them to the March Madness Sale. Mermaids is 20% off and Mannequins is 25% off.
If you’ve missed the sale, go to Mimidolls.Com now and click on the sale box on the home page. You have another chance for The Essential Mimi Collection, all of our Video Workshops, all of our Storyboard Workshops, and our most popular patterns.
And if you are in a part of the world where snail mail is unreliable, or if you just want to save the cost of shipping ($3.99 in the USA, $10 in Canada, $15 elsewhere) you have an opportunity to download and save both the shipping charge and get the discounts from 16% to 25% on the workshops.
Happy Dolling.
Valentines Sale & Studio Sale
Mimidolls.com is having a Valentines Sale that lasts until the end of February.
The newest item is a 4-disc collection called The Essential Mimi Collection. It includes Needle Model a Pretty Face, Victoria Rose 3rd Edition, Father Christmas, Happy Birthday Honey, and Jazz. It also includes Mimi’s Basic Shopping List and Mimi’s Video Handbook for Dollmakers.
If you don’t have any of these, it is a great price. If you do have some of the pieces, all of the pieces are available at good discounts so you can complete your collection economically. The Storyboard Workshops (Adam & Eva, Earth Angels, Universal Toddler, and Needle Modeling Knit Fabric Dolls [all 3]) are also on sale.
Finally, a year after Mimi’s passing, Dak and I are making her studio available to other dollmakers. Mimi’s sewing machines, OptiVisors, Hemostats, Books, and other things are available on Ebay. We will be putting up new things most every day until everything is gone. If you need dollmaking tools and supplies, take a look.
Happy Dolling,
Jim & Dak
Happy New Year!
Dak and I wish you a Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
I haven’t had time to update the website yet, so if anyone else wants to get Victoria Rose 3rd Edition at the 20% discount, order it as soon possible. I’ll probably get it updated tomorrow (Tues, 1/2/18) afternoon sometime.
