I like fairy tales and books with strong girl characters. Undoubtedly, such a character is Mulan. The fairy tale is so beautiful. It shows little girls that everyone is different and there is no single, proven way to be happy in life. This is of course not only a movie for little girls. Each of…

Every doll must have shoes. For my first dolls, I bought shoes on AliExpress. This is a pretty good solution for someone who doesn’t need specific shoes. You also have to hit the right size. The shoes you buy are rarely perfectly fitted, usually they are slightly too big. Buying shoes is always a compromise,…

I managed to make a head doll with slanted eyes. It was created by accident when I was trying to make my eyes in a new way. When my daughter saw her, she said, “Mom, maybe you can make a Mulan out of this head?”. I wasn’t planning on doing Mulan. It’s not that I…

 After sewing Anne from Green Gables, I thought about another doll. I made 3 heads. One of them was more boyish than girlish. At one point, I thought that after a slight remodeling, it would be the perfect head for Ron Weasley. I also knew immediately how I would like to do it. In my…

Sewing doll clothes is no easier than sewing adult clothes. You need high precision and delicacy in sewing on the machine. There is a lot of hand sewing. You also need to make a pattern for a specific outfit each time. Knitting is not any easier. Doing a V-neck in a doll sweater ended up…

When I finished Anne, I thought that the next doll would be a red-haired girl with blue eyes. As usual, plans often fail. I will sew the girl, of course, but now a boy is created. The boy’s face came out a bit by accident. I contrived with  nose, eyes and various types of leotard….

 I couldn’t tear myself away from modeling, I modeled four heads. I don’t know if I’ll make dolls from all of them, but I think three of them are very good. I’ve never sewed this way, there was always one head and one body. Now I have to sew three bodies. This way the work…

 I can’t stop modeling the heads. When I finish one, I want to try something new on the other. This is how I sewed four heads and not a single body. Sewing the body is a bit of a basic job compared to modeling the head. It is the head and the hair that give…

Recently, I found that being appreciated by others can bring pressure. When I was sewing Anne of Green Gables, I only thought about how I see her in my imagination. I had in mind was that I was learning all the time and making mistakes. Of course, I wanted doll to be beautiful, but I…

When I start sewing a doll, I don’t quite know what it will look like. Usually, when profiling the head, the vision of the doll begins to form. This time it was also like that. When I started to form her eyes and shape her cheeks, I knew it would be some redhead slim girl….
