My daughter traditionally spends Hallowin with one of her girlfriends. For each Hallowin I sewed a mascot for them. I sewed bats, furies, spiders and ghosts for them. Usually, my daughter and I wonder what to sew a month earlier. This year we had no idea what to sew. Ola thought about the pumpkin at…

When I was sewing small dolls, I styled them to resemble a character from a fairy tale or a movie. Large dolls would be difficult to style in any particular character. They are just girls. They can have different hair colors, different clothes and accessories. They are just themselves. Ordinary girls next door where everyone…

I promised that by creating another doll I would show more precisely how I make it. Sewing and taking photos greatly extends the process of creating a doll. However, I did take some working photos while I was making the doll’s hands. We start, of course, by redrawing the pattern onto a tricot glued with…

In the last post I was wondering whether to finish this doll or start sewing a new one. However, I decided to give her a chance and I am very happy about it. I have not styled her in any known character. I wanted her to be an ordinary girl. And I think it worked….

When I started modeling the head of this doll, I saw that it looked a bit like my daughter’s friend. I went in this direction and modeled her mouth and nose in such a way that she would resemble my daughter’s friend as much as possible. Thought it would be the first personalized doll I…

It’s been almost a month since I sewed a large doll. In the meantime, we were on a 2-week vacation. The doll had to wait a bit for clothes and shoes. Now it can present itself to you. She also got a woolen cap. I know it’s summer now, but I had the feeling cap…

I haven’t been here for over a month. Sewing is my hobby. Professionally, I do something completely different. Sometimes there is so much work that I have absolutely no time for my hobby. This time it was the same and that’s why I didn’t publish anything new for almost 2 months. It wasn’t quite that,…

As I wanted, I made a large doll. She is 56 cm tall, my previous dolls were about 34 cm. The difference is huge. The doll seems very big. I made a pattern myself for the previous dolls. This time, I wanted to save time and bought a pattern on the Internet. I’m not entirely…

Of course, a large doll must have a large head. I sewed it with a different technique than before. There was less sewing and more modeling. Dry felting allows you to achieve any effect. The nose can be narrower or wider, the mouth is more or less smiling, with or without visible teeth. You are…

Yesterday evening I sewed all the parts of the new doll together. Everyone in the house thinks she’s big. They got used to the dolls I sewed earlier. They were about 35 cm. This doll will be 56 cm tall. This is a very big difference. I have never sewed a doll this large. She…
