Welcome to Rhapsody Kennel Patterns.  
Imagine a world where these miniature creatures keep company with a 15 inch person.  Each dog is kept in scale to the size of this world.  It is a mini dog world of whimsy and imagination. It is a world that we dream of ...  
Each dog is raised under foot and doted on from birth. Each dog and human find perfect companionship in each other.

How big are these little dogs?
Each Rhapsody Dog pattern is in approximate scale to a 15 1/2" Doll.
So in the world of these little K-9 creations the average human stands 15+" tall.
Therefore, an Irish Wolfhound would stand about 8 1/2" tall while a Maltese would stand about 2 1/2" tall.

What if I get stuck during my project?
If you get stuck or need help with your project feel free to email me anytime.

I'm afraid I might not have the ability to make one of these doggies.
This pattern calls for some sewing skill but is mostly a fabric sculpting project.
This is an intermediate to advanced doll making project.
You will be guided through the process of sculpting your K-9 creation via text and diagrams. 

Supplies
Supplies vary for each breed.  I find most of my fur fabrics at local fabric and craft stores or online at CR's Crafts.  Other supplies such as stuffing, florist wire, paints and felt can be found at local 'super-center' type stores. 

Where can I find breed information and photos about the dog I'm creating?
For those who are currently creating one of these mini K-9 companions here is some additional research that may help you in the creation of your project..

How can I see more photos of the dog doll pattern I want to order?

The world of these dog's is filled with the type of joy best described as getting your first puppy. Remember the feeling? As you follow the links to the group of your choice and meet the fanciful array of characters the only request is that you have fun!
