About DiNerija
DiNerija is a small handmade studio in Vilnius, Lithuania. We draft sewing patterns for 1:6 scale fashion dolls, about 11.5 to 12 inches (29 to 30 cm) tall, build dollhouse furniture to the same scale and draw articulated paper dolls by hand. A few one-of-a-kind doll outfits, sewn in our studio, are also in the shop.
Di + Neri = DiNerija
Our name is simply the two of us: Diana and Neringa. We are two crafters from Vilnius who found out that our ideas work best together.
Diana sews
Diana is our ideas generator: new dresses, new sets and new ways to make a tiny garment sit perfectly on a doll usually start at her sewing table. The one-of-a-kind outfits in the shop are sewn by Diana. You can follow her work as KuklaFashion on Instagram and Pinterest.
Neringa drafts and builds
Neringa has always been a crafty person, from knitting and crocheting to weaving baskets. Her first online shop sold her mother-in-law’s ceramics, and in 2017 she opened her own shop for doll miniatures. Today she drafts our sewing patterns on graph paper, designs the furniture and takes care of everything technical, from product descriptions to this website.
What we make
- Sewing patterns: PDF and SVG patterns for 1:6 scale fashion dolls, drafted by hand on graph paper and fitted on real dolls: Regular, Curvy, Petite, Tall and male bodies.
- Dollhouse furniture and accessories: chairs, dressers, display cubes, hangers and doormats, designed in our studio and cut from MDF, HDF and natural cork.
- Articulated paper dolls: drawn and coloured by hand, then scanned. Print them at home, cut out the parts and join them with brads.
- Doll clothes: one-of-a-kind dresses, tops and pants sewn by hand from soft stretch fabrics, ready to ship.
How we work
- Fitted on real dolls. Every pattern is drafted on graph paper, sewn up on the actual doll body and corrected before it is digitised. The product page lists the body types it was fitted on, and our Size Guide helps you check which one your doll is.
- Ready to ship. Clothes and furniture in the shop are finished pieces. Orders usually leave our studio within 1-3 business days, and in exceptional cases within 14 days. Digital files arrive the moment you order.
- No fasteners. Our clothes have no snaps, buttons or hook-and-loop tape. The stretchy fabric slips on easily and does not mark the doll.
- Made to scale. Furniture is cut to 1:6 scale, and most pieces arrive assembled and ready for your dolls to use.
