As Carrie said, I am letting my inner girl have a few more things as I am getting older, yes all of 52. Ronna sent me a Cabbage Patch doll that I love and give a squeeze to now and then. Need to make her some clothes. I had one when I was younger but I love this one even more. She has short brown curly hair. So much fun. I loved playing with my Barbies and my grand daughters sure are enjoying Barbies.

Oh I think it is the child in all of us. But I love to make dolls. I had so many at one time i gave them all away when we moved I just have no room for them. I used an old pillowcase my grandmother made for one of the dresses and that one is hung in the livingroom. I just love them too...

I still love Barbie dolls and have some of the vintage reproductions. When my 3 daughters were little they had 13 Barbies because I liked buying them. We bought the townhouse at a rummage sale and every night after the girls were asleep, I would go into their room and dress the Barbies, fix their hair, and set them up in their townhouse. I wonder if my kids thought there was a doll fairy that came in every night!! |

Jan, that is so cool! I am glad to hear that other women love Barbies too. I would have loved to be there with you and the 13 dolls.... I'm resisting the urge to make me a new doll now...just don't have the time these days....

Mikesgirl gave us the link to the tutorial from Frannie. Look on page 2. I bumped it up for us too...it's now on the Stitching and Crafting forum. I spent an hour just now reading and looking at the pics...! The basic teaching is only about 10 pages .... enjoy!

Thanks. I cannot take 100% credit for idea. My dear daughter suggested it. She has some great ideas ...and often inspires me.

Cheryl: I don't think the pic is too large...I like the large ones. Thanks for showing us....it's adorable!!
Lila: I would suggest joining a swap or two and you will see exactly how it is done. The easiest would probably be to organize a one to one. The joiners/participants sign up...you keep a list of them. There is a due date to sign up by..and also a due date to have them sent in by (keeps us on track--we need it!).then partners are assigned when the sign-up due date comes. The hostess then would actually people and keep track of who has sent their doll off to their partner and also who is still waiting. I have seen some people not able to do their part of the trade and the hostess asks for volunteer to provide them with the doll (or whatever it is). This way everyone gets one back, if you know what I mean. The shopping bag swap went this way...you can go find that topic and read to see how it went. Jess (smoothiejuice) is a person who could also teach you or walk ya thru swaps...she is helpful and very experienced.
PRIMITIVE DOLLS! Did anyone go check out the old tutorial/class that Frannie did? I couldn't tear myself away from it last night even tho I have seen it before. LOL big smile...it's a FUN FUN time!! There is everything a doll maker needs to know for that easy style of primitive doll. I LOVE DOLLS !!

I get this newsletter...it's got alot of patterns, some difficult and a few easier ones. I have bought from here. I believe they also have classes on doll making. The last free class I took was how to make a belly button for a soft sculptured doll. LOL There are also links to free patterns. I hope some of you will enjoy this site.

this pattern could be enlarged. If someone needs help with making the clothes I think we could help you. Just tell us how much you enlarged the pattern and someone can make a simple clothing pattern. Since it's a baby you could put diaper on and a real baby outfit if it's made the size. I really like this pattern!

![](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa180/yarnmamma/babydollpic.jpg) that pattern made up with sculptureing ...I want to stress that this pattern does not have to be sculptured if you don't want to. All you could do is run a straight seam at the arm next to body, top of leg (at the crotch) and those will make them bend. Be sure to stuff the neck area tight so it's head won't bounce. Another hint is not to leave part of side seam open for stuffing but to cut a slit in the dollys back to stuff and then hand stitch closed. This keeps any of the seams from looking wonky or croocked and also makes the doll easier to stuff. I would make dolly about 100% larger (isn't that 10 times?) or more. Look at your pattern imagining 1/2 inch smaller all around. I would just put simple buttons on for eyes or paint or embroidery face and put a diaper on it! Look for a t shirt in preemie or regular baby size clothes if you want. A diaper could be made any size. A simple shirt or dress is not hard and neither is a bonnet. Doesn't this sound fun! Shall we have a sew-along?? Anyone interested in doing this pattern all at the same time and we can post pics or talk about how we each are doing then post pics if we can of our finished doll. This would be like Frannies class but called a sew-along. I think it's simple enough for most sewers....w does anyone else think so??![](icons/icon_smile_question.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_question.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_question.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_blush.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_blush.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_blush.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_shy.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_shy.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_shy.gif)

I didn't make this dolly...it's just a pic that came with the whole tutorial...it's on the link. I think it may need to be stretchy only if you are going to sculpture it. The pattern makes a 2 inch doll....very small to be trying to stuff. Did you see the link to the instructions?

by Laurie S. Wagner © 2006
Mini Baby Mannequin 1/12 Scale
The youngest member of the “Miniature Mannequins” family, this 2” baby is made from Dolskin knit fabric, has needle sculpted details, but no wire armature. Easy to make; basic sewing skills.
Materials & Tools
Dolskin knit fabric, scrap Matching thread Sewing machine needle for knits Needle and thread for hand sewing Freezer paper Fray check Stuffing – wool or Fiberloft Forceps 5” for turning & stuffing Scissors with sharp points Face colouring: Pigma pens .005 brown, pink Prismacolor pencils for lips and cheeks Acrylic paints, white and black Paint brush, very fine Krylon Workable Fixative spray
Permission for Use:
The purchase of this pattern includes permission to make and sell a limited number of finished dolls, giving credit to the designer. The dolls must be made entirely by you, and not manufactured. This pattern may not be reproduced for sale or use by others. Copyright 2006.
Laurie S. Wagner, 750 – 5 th Ave. N. E., Swift Current , SK S9H 2L4 CANADA
Sewing
Because this doll is so small, accuracy is important to achieve the intended size and shape.
Trace the pattern onto freezer paper with a fine point pen. This is a template, so the pen line is the stitching line.
Cut out the pattern, carefully removing the pen line.
Fold the fabric right sides together. Iron the template onto the wrong side of the doubled fabric, medium heat.
Be sure thatthe most stretch goes across the body, not up and down. Put a pin in the middle of the pattern through both layers of fabric to prevent shifting.
Do not cut out yet.
With a very fine stitch, sew around the template, leaving no opening. Sew slowly, almost touching the paper, lifting the presser foot on the curves to avoid stretching the fabric.
Cut out leaving 1/16” seams. Peel the pattern off carefully; it is reusable. Clip curves at underarms and neck. Put a bit of fray check at each clip and in the crotch area to prevent fabric from running.
Cut the slit in the center back, being careful not to cut the front. Put fray check at the top and bottom. Let dry. Turn body right side out through the slit, using the forceps. Stuffing
Body should be soft but firm. Use a type of stuffing that packs easily and is not too springy, such as wool or Mountain Mist Fiberloft.
Use forceps to position small bits of stuffing. Use a fine strong needle to poke through the skin and move the stuffing around to smooth away any bumps.
Head: Place a wad of stuffing into the head, making it nice and round.
Arms: Stuff the hands lightly. Use a needle to move stuffing to the tip. Stuff the arms.
Legs: Stuff the feet with a tiny wad. Continue stuffing the leg and the buttocks.
Torso: Stuff the neck and body, rounding the chest and stomach and filling out the hips.
Close opening : Use a fine needle and doubled sewing thread to stitch the back closed with tiny ladder stitch and 1/16” seam. Start at top and work down. Knot the thread, cut.
Needle Sculpting
Use a fine needle and doubled sewing thread. To tighten, pull on the thread, not the needle. Always bury the end of the thread before cutting it. Anchor thread with a small backstitch or knot.
1. Chin : Anchor thread at A. Wrap thread all the way around the neck, and re-enter A. Exit B. Pull gently to form chin. Anchor thread. Do not cut.
Ears: Re-enter B, exit back of ear C, about 1/16” from seam. Anchor thread, re-enter C, exit D, enter E, exit F, enter C, exit D. Pull gently to tighten. Anchor thread. Re-enter D, exit on other side of head at back of ear C. Stitch second ear. Knot and cut thread. 2. Buttocks and navel: Anchor at crotch seam. Enter A, exit back at B, enter A, exit B. Pull thread to form buttocks. Anchor thread, re-enter B, and exit front at C. Enter slightly below C, exit B. Pull thread gently to indent navel. Anchor. Don’t cut. 3. Hips & Shoulders: Re-enter B, exit hip D, anchor thread, enter E, exit D, enter E, exit other hip F. Pull thread to tighten. Anchor thread. Enter G, exit F, enter G, exit F. Tighten, anchor thread. Re-enter F, exit shoulder H. Anchor. Enter I, exit H, enter I, exit other shoulder J. Tighten, anchor. Enter K, exit J, enter K, exit back of neck, tighten, knot and cut. 4. Wrists and ankles : Anchor thread at seam A. Wrap over inner wrist or ankle, enter B, exit A. Pull gently, knot and cut.
Face Use a light touch with the pens. You can darken the line by going over it again, rather than by pressing harder.
Draw eyes, eyebrows, and nose with brown; draw mouth with pink. Paint white of eye with acrylic paint. Let dry. Paint iris with black paint. Let dry. Paint white highlight in iris. Blush cheeks with Prismacolor pencils. Spray face with fixative. Hair : Use embroidery floss, viscose, silk or wool fibre. Stitch, glue or needle felt to head.
