Often things created on their own are the most expensive gift, because a lot of effort and love is invested in it. Having presented a small funny copy of your friend or loved one, you will give him not only a thing, but also
positive emotions that will return to this person as soon as he looks at this toy. And in this article you will learn how to sew such a doll.
Making a doll first of all begins with the purchase of the necessary materials. Although it happens that the toy is made from improvised means. It can be a doll from shreds and cotton wool, from old kapron tights and foam rubber. But now you will learn how to sew a doll out of fabric. To do this, you need the fabric itself and the pattern of the toy you like. Fold the weave in half and draw the outline: arms, legs, head, nose of the doll (if you want it to be convex). You can buy the necessary parts in advance at a specialty store.
An author’s doll turns out to be neater and more beautiful if all its details are sewn together with hands, and not with a sewing machine. But do not forget to leave a small slot in the body of the future model to fill it with foam rubber, cotton, synthetic winterizer or silicone.
When all the details, even the doll’s nose, are sewn separately, it is necessary to unscrew them so that all the seams remain inside the product. Then you can begin to fill the toy, for this even ordinary shreds may come up, if you do not have special material. The doll must be filled tightly, helping yourself with a wand.
After that, you can already sew the arms, legs, head and torso together. Doll eyes and nose can be made from buttons, stones and rhinestones or bought at a needlework store and stick them to glue in advance.
After the doll’s body is completely ready, you can start making hair, clothes and shoes for
toys. Hair can be made of thick yarn for knitting black, white, yellow and even
raspberry color. Cut a lot of threads 10-15 cm long and fluff them so that they become lush. Start sewing them from the back of the head, but so that they do not close your eyes, and especially the nose of the doll. You can also buy ready-made hair or make it from an old wig. The dress is easy to sew on the finished pattern from the magazine. And decorated with beads or rhinestones, it on the doll will look more elegant and richer. Shoes can be knitted according to the pattern of booties or socks for babies.
Sewing dolls can take from several hours to several days, depending on the skill and speed of sewing, as well as on the complexity of making doll parts. But the main thing is, of course, the result and the joy of it.
