When I sew dolls with contoured faces, I try to style them into old dolls or a character. I noticed that my daughter and her friend do not like it very much. They love dolls that are dressed like modern girls. For me it’s not a big fun but this time I made an exception….

Little Red Riding Hood
The first modeled head encouraged me to try again. Before starting sewing, I don’t think about what the doll will be like. I model the heads very short. I do not have the courage to model them in such a way that I will decide which doll I will make and shape the head accordingly….

My first modeled head
Sewing dolls draws you in to the max. You are learning something new all the time, learning other techniques. You do what seemed unattainable. I started with the usual Tilda, then the pattern was modified and the first faces were painted. I was always enviously looking at the posts of girls who showed off their…

Dobby
I am not the generation of Harry Potter. I have read books and watched movies with my 9 year old daughter. I was captivated by the author’s imagination and the wonderful magic world. Sometimes, after a hard day, I can turn on the Harry Potter movie to feel this atmosphere completely detached from reality. Usually,…

Faces
I was sewing doll heads and collecting the materials needed to paint them for several days. Yesterday morning I had everything. Whenever I do something new, I take a long time to start doing that. Apart from buying all the materials, I watched dozens of tutorials. I liked this one the most https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uBi061PPCM&t=1874s. If you…

We go sledging with the doll

Ordinary doll
I want to show you another doll. I work a little with the pattern all the time. This doll has a slightly wider head than the previous one and I think I like the head more. Sewing the body of this doll, I had an elegant doll in my head with a tulle dress and…

My doll
Sewing took me a few evenings but I can already boast of a doll made of a pattern modified by me. Honestly speaking, I thought that since I sew clothes for myself and my daughter, it would not be so difficult to transfer it on a micro scale. Unfortunately, when sewing clothes for the dwarfs,…

Preparing my own pattern for the doll
I was hooked on sewing toys, especially dolls. First, I was sewing from the Tilda patterns. I thought it was the perfect solution and the dolls are beautiful. And of course they are, but the longer I sewed them, the more I wanted to change something. I wanted to have my own doll pattern. The…

Christmas 2020 with Tilda dolls
I started my adventure with sewing a few years ago from sewing clothes. However, the longer I sew, the more I realize that the greatest fun for me is sewing mascots. I do not know if it is about my inner child who plays at the same time or about the joy they bring to…
