Design Academy Ebook
The 12 Layers Of Professional Doll Clothes Design
Are you ready to design amazing doll clothes?
Why you should buy this book, (by Cinnamon Miles)…
Some people wonder how I’m able to sell my outfits for over $100 on EBay. They just can’t understand it. in my view it all comes down to effective design, and learning the principles and concepts.
I guess I was lucky, when I was eight I became incredibly focused on sewing doll clothes for my 17-inch Kimberly doll. She needed clothes, and I wanted to learn how to make her everything I saw in catalogs and magazines. I was passionate.
Luckily my mom had worked as a seamstress for a fashion label in Los Angeles. She was a terrific teacher. By coincidence my grandma had a friend who worked for Bob Mackie, my original inspiration, and she’d give me scraps of material to use for my projects. Those lucky breaks allowed me to get an amazing education in doll clothes construction and design. I’ve refined and enhanced those techniques over the years.
All these years later, I am still passionate about sewing doll clothes.
So why should you buy this ebook? The Design Academy ebook is the boiled down, systematically outlined 12-step process I learned from these gifted experts. It’s my way of passing on what I’ve learned. It’s written so that everyone can understand it – even elementary school girls. I don’t just describe each layer of design, I show you beautifully illustrated examples, based on my work, so that you can learn and apply every layer. If you want to learn how to do what I do, then this book is a great start.

Q&A
Q: What’s the difference between the e-book and the full Design Academy?
A: The e-book presents the 12 layers of design, in a chapter format, as information. There are no worksheets, fill-in-the-blanks, or exercises to complete – just an in-depth explanation of the 12 layers of design. The Design Academy course is a 1 month program, with exercises, assignments, and activities designed to help you understand and implement the 12 layers. If you want information – the e-book is for you. If you want instruction – the Design Academy is best.
Q: Is this about how to make patterns or sketch out designs?
A: No, the information in the e-book, and the Design Academy are both focused on actually creating outfits, and the elements involved in making effective outfits, not drawing or pattern making.
Q: If I buy the e-book and want to sign-up for the full Design Academy can I do it for a reduced amount?
A: Sure, the Design Academy is $79. So if you buy the e-book, and then want to join the Design Academy, we’ll just charge you the difference.

Hello Jason and Cinnamon, I wrote to you before that I am interested in taking your next classes . In the classes do you offer suggestions in pricing. I have been sewing since I was very young but the pricing is where I cannot quite figure out or find any guidelines. I love your patterns and hope . Can I get the e-book now and take the classes as I had seen in earlier messages I was reading? And pay the difference when the classes start? Thanks Melody
Hi Melody, Yes, you can definitely buy the book now and pay the difference when we run the class
The design academy class just focuses on the design elements. We actually cover pricing strategy on our Libertyjanepatrners.com site along with a lot if other business releated info. We also have an ebook, “Price it Like Picasso” which is specifically about eBay auction pricing and strategy…Not sure if that’s what your thinking, but it’s a different resource.
I am only nine and new to sewing, but want to partner with you. I am trying to make up patterns because I don’t know how to do real ones. I was wondering how your patterns are, I was wondering if they are like the ones at Jo~hanns or something like that.~ Laura
(P.S I love the outfits you make for dolls, your amazing)
Please let me know when your next design academy starts, it’s exactly what I need.
Thanks,
Teresa
Hi, is it too late to sign up for the design academy?
