Dollie

Recently, I made this simple yet ridiculously adorable dollie--

 NO, it isn't naked. I shaped the body like a dress so it really could never be naked. Unlike the Cabbage Patch Kids... *shudder*
....Anyway.
Here's another diagram by my (very lovely) older sister--


 Now, how to make it, you say?
  • On one of the body pieces, stitch on buttons for the eyes and embroider the mouth. You can make it however you want to!
  • Turn the body pieces so the right sides are together. (inside out)
  • Sew them together, but LEAVE THE BOTTOM OPEN! Stuff it, but don't close it yet.
  • Flip it right-side out.
  • Make the legs and arms-- put the right sides together and stitch them together. Do this until you have two legs and two arms. Stuff them and close them up.
  • Position the legs in the open seam of the body. Once properly positioned, sew up the bottom with the legs inside. Make sure you can still see the legs!
  • Position the arms and stitch them on.
  • Stitch the first hairpiece to the second.
  • Stitch the hair onto the head (it's attached to the body, don't be confused!)
  • You can make the doll a dress (my mom's been nagging me about this), but I haven't yet. When I do, I'll make a post about it!
  • Enjoy!
That's all for now!
Bye!
