I made my previous blog post on February 20. I wrote it in a beautiful world. A world without war, without refugees, without civilians being killed. Four days later, this beautiful world died.  We are used to the idea that we and our children will live in peace. We thought about the greenhouse effect, ecology,…

My husband laughs that I like to sew dolls that only I like 😊. Maybe there is some truth in it, but of course I like it when others like what I sew. However, he is right when I choose a character that I sew, I don’t think about its popularity. Take, for example, the…

I sewed this Angel for my mother. Mom is interested in what I sew. She talks to me about what I have recently sewed, asks me to send her pictures of the dolls. I thought maybe my mother didn’t dare to say, but she would like to get a doll from me. I started to…

2021 was a different year than all of them. Remote work, small contact with friends and family, constant subconscious fear for the health of yourself and your loved ones. On the other hand, there has been a total slowdown in the pace of life. There was time to listen to yourself and your loved ones….

I made another red-haired girl. When I made the head and body, I was wondering how this doll should be dressed. I thought Christmas was coming and it would be nice to style her up into such a cute Christmas doll. But the longer I looked at her, the less she suited a sweet doll….

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…
