Hi Im back and I've decided that you all should just come right along with me as Im making this. In between the actual sewing and such I will as Ive said post pics of things Ive made in the past,dolls, crafts, costumes and more! Above you can view Ms. Sophia atop her kitty condo :)
I dont know what this doll will look like yet, he or she will be a work in progress and will unfold before our very eyes! I worked on the "Traveling Gypsy" in this manner also and didnt know that she would be a gypsy until I began her hair and clothing. My patterns are hand made (my Mother Juanita taught me how to do this-as I mentioned before she was a professional seamstress) as you will see this allows me to be more creative. I can pick and choose what I really want my doll to look like, wear and more :D
Ok enough of my jabbering...I have pics of the pattern pieces and the material already cut out. I used a wet erase marking pen (you can buy a disappearing ink style if you like) to trace around the pattern because knit fabric is a little bit shifty lol. I also used a seam clamp to hold both pieces of material
together while I cut around the tracings.
next you see the pattern pieces and the material that has been cut out. Dont worry about the ink showing because you will not see this once you've sewn them together.
The next step we will take once we have sewn the head together is stuffing it and then sewing or rather sculpting the face and bringing the features to life..this is the fun part!
Be back soooon, Dulce
