Colette Wolff’s Platypus Design Collection is a rare and treasured collection of her original sewing and textile manipulation designs, created long before her renowned book, The Art of Manipulating Fabric. These patterns reflect her deep understanding of fabric structure, texture, and movement, offering makers a unique opportunity to explore innovative techniques firsthand.

Much like the platypus—an extraordinary blend of unexpected features—Colette’s Platypus Designs merge traditional sewing principles with unconventional approaches to shaping, layering, and embellishment. Each pattern serves as a canvas for experimentation, inviting fabric artists to push boundaries and redefine textile design.

Originally produced in limited runs, these patterns were coveted by artisans who appreciated Colette’s meticulous craftsmanship and eye for detail. Today, they remain a testament to her visionary approach to fabric manipulation, offering timeless inspiration to sewists, designers, and fiber artists dedicated to keeping her legacy alive.

Colette Wolff’s doll-making creations showcase her masterful craftsmanship, blending intricate fabric manipulation with expressive, handcrafted details.

Each doll is a testament to her artistic vision, transforming textiles into whimsical, one-of-a-kind figures that capture the imagination.
