I need to show you something....
"As someone who has been sewing and making dolls for decades, I joined the Modern Ragdoll Membership looking for fresh creativity and inspiration—and it delivered beyond my expectations! The beautifully designed patterns are a joy to create, and the step-by-step guidance makes even advanced projects feel effortless.
What I love most is the community—connecting with other passionate doll makers has reignited my excitement for the craft. For my small business, the unique designs have sparked new ideas and helped me bring fresh offerings to my customers. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sewist like me, this membership is a treasure trove of creativity and connection. I’m so grateful to be part of it!"

What others are saying...
I came across Modern Rag Doll on Facebook and I was glad I was curious enough to check it out. I am not a beginner doll maker, I think I can say I am an advancer doll maker. I have been a dollmaker since my children were young, but still have not fully walked that path yet, I guess maybe fear, or scared to put myself out there. However, you, your site and your constant uplifting for us to be inspired by our own creativity, have inspired me to be more creative and continue my passion of a dollmaker.Â
Believing that small steps and dreams can continue as long there is inspiration, uplifting and a community to hold each other and learn from each other.Â
 Thank you for your constant inspirations, willingness to teach all of us.

hey there, friend!
I'm Jennifer Long
SEW A STORY CEO & FOUNDER
I am a Riley Blake Designs fabric designer, professional modern rag doll designer, quilt & doll pattern writer, machine embroidery digitizer, and online educator.
I am passionate about teaching all things dolls,
early years education, and creative entrepreneurship.
I am honored and excited to bring makers together in a supportive and nurturing community. I'm looking forward to supporting you on your doll-making journey!
I can't wait to see what you create!
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of designing dolls professionally for overseas manufacturing, collaborating with companies like Piccolina and authors of children’s books to bring their characters to life. As a Riley Blake Designs fabric designer, I’ve created innovative felt panels and doll panels that are loved by makers around the world, with designs licensed through major retailers and wholesalers. My experience and passion for early years education has shaped every aspect of my work, from crafting heirloom-quality dolls to designing projects that inspire creativity, connection, and play.
What could you create with the right patterns, guidance and community support?
I WAS ONCE WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW...
That’s when I decided to do things differently and everything changed.
- I Simplified My Process:Â I learned how to streamline doll-making using in-the-hoop techniques, turning complex projects into enjoyable, achievable steps.
- I Found My Community:Â I surrounded myself with like-minded makers who offered encouragement, feedback, and shared inspiration every step of the way.
- I Invested in My Skills:Â I discovered new techniques and tips that elevated my doll-making, whether for personal joy or growing my business.
- I Committed to My Creativity:Â By carving out time for my passion, I transformed doll-making from a hobby into something truly fulfilling and rewarding.
AND NOW I WANT TO HELP YOU DO THE SAME...
