Etsy Spotlight – Witch, Please! This Handmade Doll is Halloween Magic

October 5, 2025 by Shellie Wilson

It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for another edition of our Etsy Spotlight Series here at CraftGossip.com—where we cozy up with the handmade treasures that make our crafting hearts skip a stitch.

This week? Oh, we’re getting spooky (but make it adorable). Say hello to the Witch Doll Pattern and Sewing Tutorial—a handmade Halloween project that is equal parts cute and cackling.

This isn’t some spooky, shadowy figure from your nightmares. No, this witch is adorably mischief-ready with a flair for the handmade. Think cozy spellbooks, crooked smiles, and a wardrobe made from your favorite fabric scraps.

She looks like she just stepped out of a whimsical woodland Halloween party—and yes, she brought the potion cupcakes.

The pattern comes with a full sewing tutorial, so whether you’re a confident stitcher or a beginner who’s more “wand waver” than “needle master,” you’ll find your groove quickly. It’s all laid out in the most magical way.

There’s something extra special about hand-sewing your holiday decor, and this witch doll fits right in with your DIY pumpkins, quilted bats, and cauldron cozies (don’t lie—you’ve thought about making one).

Use her as:

A Halloween shelf sitter

A trick-or-treat table mascot

A spooky season gift for your witchy best friend

Or even as a “familiar” for your black cat (just don’t let them steal her hat)

Honestly, she’s so charming I might just leave her out year-round.

Every Sunday, we remind ourselves why we spotlight Etsy sellers like this: because behind every digital pattern is a real human pouring love, creativity, and a little magic into their small business.

At CraftGossip, we believe in lifting up makers who keep the world of handmade alive—and we love helping our readers find their next favorite project in the process.

So if Halloween is your happy place, or you’re looking to start a seasonal tradition that isn’t just candy and chaos, give this little witch a place in your home.

Grab the Witch Doll pattern here and stitch a little Halloween magic this season.

15 Dog Poop Bag Carriers You Can Sew For Your Dog

If you’re a dog owner, then you know the inevitable truth — what goes in, must come out. And in my house, that truth has a name: Aloo, our lovable, curly-coated Labradoodle who has made it his mission to poop like a champion. Seriously, this dog is a pooping machine.

In our area, not picking up after your dog isn’t just frowned upon — it’s illegal. So, being a responsible (and poop-weary) pet parent, I quickly realized we needed a poop bag holder that was not only practical but also cute and handmade. That’s when I went down the rabbit hole (pun intended?) of DIY dog poop bag holders — and now I’m sharing my favorite 15 free sewing patterns and tutorials with you!

Whether you’re after something sleek and minimalist or a treat-pocket combo pouch for walkies, this list has something for every type of sewist and pup. Bonus: most of these projects are total scrap busters too!

So, whether your furry friend is a casual stroller or a serial pooper like my dear Aloo, having a poop bag holder that’s handy, stylish, and easy to refill is a total game changer. You can clip them to a leash, toss one in your car, or make a few to keep near every exit — trust me, you’ll thank yourself later.

And hey, why settle for boring store-bought holders when you can sew your own in under an hour? Let me know which one you’re going to try — and give your four-legged pal a belly rub from me and Aloo!
