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…

 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…

 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.
