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…

Male doll
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….

The time has come to sew the bodies
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…

Even more heads
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…

Two heads
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…

Anne of Green Gables
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….

Doll dressed as a girl
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,…
