Project OverviewDolls House Quiet Book Add On
Difficulty Level = Beginner / Intermediate
This is an add-on to the Dolls House Quiet Book. You will need the original Dolls House Quiet Book to complete the pattern.
The original pattern will help you create the quiet book pages. Then you can mix and match any of the décor and page options from this add-on and the original. This add on will also show you some different construction methods.
Feel free to pick whichever methods and pattern pieces you like the most between the two patterns and let your imagination go wild! Add embellishments, extra pages, combine elements. Have fun and make sure to show us what you make!
If you’d like a matching ballerina doll to add to your house, the Sienna Doll is a perfect fit!
Our Facebook group is a great place to get help, share your tips and creations! We are a friendly bunch, and we love to help and see what you have made.
Please read the full instructions before getting started.
Wash, dry, and press your fabric before starting your project. A bit of prep now prevents shrinking and means your garment will stay the same size you made it.
Never leave a child or baby unattended or allow to sleep in a garment made from one of our patterns with ties, snaps, buttons, or anything they could remove, choke on, or get caught on. Always use caution if you are unsure. We love our patterns, but we love your bundles of joy more!
SizingSize Range
Craft
Materials and ToolsTools needed are sewing machine (or you could do it by hand), needle (as mentioned above, this project can get quite thick. You might find it easier to use a needle designed for thicker projects, rather than the standard needle size), scissors, pins.
Printing Your PatternSettings
The pattern is a separate download. Choose either the US letter paper, A4 paper, or A0 paper size based on the printer you wish to use. If you are in the US or Canada then your printer will likely use US letter paper. Other regions normally use A4 paper. Some people prefer to print their patterns at a print shop: A0 is best in this case.
Print at 100%.
On the second page, you will find a 1-inch and a 3-inch square test box. Print this page first, on its own, and measure these squares.
Once you are happy that the test box is accurate, print the rest of the pattern pages.
Please follow this video for information and assistance on assembling this pattern.
Also, please note that some Rebecca Page patterns and projects also come with cut files and a printable design page which you can use to plan your project if you wish. These are provided in a separate section below to avoid any confusion!

File Types
We have included three to four file types for you to choose from. Please choose whichever you are more familiar with or works best with your cutting machine. For cut files of the smaller pieces for some of our patterns, like the Dolls House Quiet Book and Add-on, we do not include a PDF copy. All versions come with .SVG, .PNG, and .DXF.
You will start by downloading the files from your account. Open your software and choose the file type you’d like to work with.
Pattern Cut Files
When working with cut files to cut small pattern pieces, it is imperative that you make sure the file is the correct size prior to cutting. We have included a one-inch square box offset in each file. You should be able to move the square off to the side, so it isn’t cut with the rest of your file. For files that also have square pieces, please be sure to compare them to the cut chart in the original file instructions. We’d always prefer you double check than have something cut out that isn’t useable!
Other Cut Files
For all other cut files, you should resize to your project needs. Please do keep in mind the size of some of the features. Going very small may make it difficult to cut smaller fonts or finer details.
Media
As mentioned earlier, it is very important to choose the correct media to for your cut. There is a huge selection to choose from and it can be overwhelming. Be sure to use the materials suggested by your machine for the type of project you are completing.

Quick Glance Cheat Sheet⅜ inch seam allowance included – Top stitching ⅛ inch – Basting ¼ inch
Sewing –
1 . DollsSeam Allowance
⅜ inch seam allowance included – Top stitching ⅛ inch – Basting ¼ inch
1.0This Add-On includes a boy or girl option, a few different hairstyles to choose from, and an optional skirt. These new Dolls can be customized/personalized to your child.
Choose between no hair, Side Swept Bangs, or Straight Bangs. There is also an optional ponytail which you can use to give your doll pigtails, or a cute single side ponytail.
1.1If you are doing the Straight Bangs, skip to step 1.3.
For the Side Swept Bangs option, take piece B, and pin it to the top, right side of the Doll’s head. Stitch along the bottom curved edge, along the face.
1.2Now, pin piece A to the left side of face, overlapping piece B. Stitch along the bottom curved edge, along the face.
Skip to step 1.4.
1.3For the Straight Bangs, pin the Bangs (C) piece to the front of the Doll’s head/face piece with both pieces facing up.
Stitch along the bottom edge of bangs, across the face.
1.4OPTIONAL – If you wish to add 1 or 2 ponytails, follow below. Otherwise skip to step 1.6.
For each ponytail, pin the ponytail pieces, wrong sides together.
Stitch around edges leaving the short straight edge open.
1.5Pin each ponytail, right sides together, in the desired location. The ponytails should be facing into the face so that when we stitch the two sides of the head together later, they will be out of the way but caught in the seam.
Baste in place using a ¼ inch seam allowance.
TIP – If you haven’t done basting before, it is a long loose stitch that holds fabric in place. It is not a permanent stitch that you will see but a temporary stitch that you can either remove or hide within the seam allowance. Some machines will have a ‘basting’ setting, use this if it does. Alternatively, lengthen your stitch so it is long and loose. Do not secure the ends of the stitching but instead leave them free so you can remove it later easily if it shows in the finished doll.
1.6Once you have the Doll’s hair as you would like it, apply the face.
Use the Head pattern piece as a template or create your own. Get creative! Use embroidery, fabric paint, buttons, vinyl, or anything you’d like!
1.7Take your front Body piece and pin it at the neck, right sides facing, to the Dolls face piece. Stitch with ½ inch seam allowance.
1.8Press seam allowance down, towards Doll’s Body and topstitch with ⅛ inch seam allowance.
Repeat with the Doll’s back Body and Head pieces.
1.9Pin the front and back, right sides together. Stitch together using ½ inch seam allowance, leaving bottom open.
Trim seam allowances and clip sharp angles (careful not to cut stitches).
1.10OPTIONAL SKIRT – Pin the skirt pieces together and sew the sides using ½ inch seam allowance. Use desired method to finish the seam allowance (e.g. serger, pinking shears, etc.).
1.11Use your favorite method to hem the skirt using ½ inch hem allowance.
Run a gathering stitch along the top of the skirt.
Turn skirt right side out and insert inside Doll’s body, right sides facing, matching up side seams. Gather to fit and baste in place.
NOTE – You may need to hand stitch if opening is too small for your machine.
1.12Retrieve your Doll Legs and add embellishments if desired (e.g. pockets, patches, etc.).
1.13Pin leg pieces, right sides together, and sew using ½ inch seam allowance, leaving the top open.
1.14Turn legs right side out and insert inside the Doll’s Body, matching up side seams.
1.15Sew using ½ inch seam allowance, leaving a small gap for turning.
NOTE – You may need to hand stitch if opening is too small for your machine.
1.16Pull Doll right side out through the opening. Stuff Doll with Polyfill and use a ladder (invisible) stitch to close it up.
NOTE – If you aren’t familiar with a ladder or blind stitch, get a needle and a long thread. Knot one end of the thread.
Slide the needle through the gap and under your seam allowance, coming out to the right side on your seam line. Slide the needle down the through opposite seam line, directly across from where you came up.
From inside, move down a stitch length and come back up through the seam line on the original side. Continue along the length of your gap. On your last stitch, secure the end of your thread.
2 . Door with Button Closure / Flower Box2.1Door with Button Closure assembly: Apply interfacing (use manufacturer instructions) to wrong side of one of your Main Door pieces. Sew embellishments if desired.

Sew Perimeter.
2.4Pin Door Frame on top, overlapping door piece slightly.
Sew Perimeter of Door Frame.
2.5Retrieve your assembled Door and pin in center of frame.
Sew down the Left side only.
OPTIONAL – Use a twin needle or sew a second line for more ‘staying power’.
Sew your button to the Dolls House, using your button hole as your placement guide.
2.6Flower Box: Pin main Flower Box piece (A) in desired location. Sew its perimeter.
2.7Then, place the Flower Box Trim (B) along the top of the main piece, overlapping slightly. Sew perimeter.

3.18Repeat with the other tab on the right-hand side of the Dolls House page.

Stitch down the outside edge of each door (the left side for the left door, and the right side for the right door.)
To add a little Peek-a-boo friend to your Barn Door, follow instructions for the Chick ‘n Egg Finger Puppet.
The Chick ‘n Egg Finger Puppet is fun way to add a little Peek-a-boo surprise to your Dolls House. It will also engage your child and inspire imaginative play. Make just one chick or sew up a whole brood (can approximately fit about 3 inside the egg shell).
4.11Egg Shell: Pin the Egg Shell pieces, right sides together. Sew the top, jagged edge only with ½ inch seam allowance.
Trim seam allowance and clip angles as close to seam as possible (without cutting the seam).
Flip the egg right side out and press seam. Topstitch seam with ⅛ inch seam allowance
4.12Pin Eggshell in desired location. Here, it’s going in the Barn Door, but you can put it anywhere in the book!
Sew around the curved edge to secure in place. Leave the top open to form a pocket.
4.13Chick Finger Puppet: Go ahead and apply the interfacing to the Main Front piece.
Transfer facial features to your Main Front piece. Use your method of choice to create the chicks face (e.g. embroidery, fabric paint, etc.)
4.14Now, take all 4 pieces (both main and both lining) and fold the bottom edges up (wrong sides facing) ½ inch and press to make a memory hem.
Unfold them again and pin the 2 main pieces right sides together. Repeat for the lining pieces.
Sew from the bottom left corner, up and around the curve to the bottom right corner on both. Be sure to leave the bottom open.
4.15Turn the Main piece inside out and fold the bottom hem back up (wrong sides facing). The memory hem you made earlier should make this easy. Fold the hem on the lining and insert the lining inside the chick (wrong sides facing).
4.16Hand stitch the pieces together. A blanket stitch works well here.
5 . Farm: Outhouse5.0Every farm needs a primitive outside, amiright? In addition to the new Outhouse pieces, you will also need the Toilet Tank and the Toilet Lid pieces from the new Bathroom addition.

Follow the same instructions in the original Dolls House pattern for applying the shoulder straps and ties to your outside pages, Steps 10.2 to 10.3.

Cut Files
File Types
We have included three to four file types for you to choose from. Please choose whichever you are more familiar with or works best with your cutting machine. For cut files of the smaller pieces for some of our patterns, like the Dolls House Quiet Book and Add-on, we do not include a PDF copy. All versions come with .SVG, .PNG, and .DXF.
You will start by downloading the files from your account. Open your software and choose the file type you’d like to work with.
Pattern Cut Files
When working with cut files to cut small pattern pieces, it is imperative that you make sure the file is the correct size prior to cutting. We have included a one-inch square box offset in each file. You should be able to move the square off to the side, so it isn’t cut with the rest of your file. For files that also have square pieces, please be sure to compare them to the cut chart in the original file instructions. We’d always prefer you double check than have something cut out that isn’t useable!
Other Cut Files
For all other cut files, you should resize to your project needs. Please do keep in mind the size of some of the features. Going very small may make it difficult to cut smaller fonts or finer details.
Media
As mentioned earlier, it is very important to choose the correct media to for your cut. There is a huge selection to choose from and it can be overwhelming. Be sure to use the materials suggested by your machine for the type of project you are completing.
