RAG DOLL WITH INSERTED EYES

Send

I have long wanted to make myself - yes, yes, just myself, a doll the size of a newborn baby. The girl turned out to be soft, grandchildren willingly play with her, and for me she reminds a granddaughter in her absence.

Increase the pattern to a distance of 18 cm between the ears, the size of the doll will be 45 cm. It is easy to sew removable clothes on it, it will not be difficult for children to undress and wear it.

Open all the details on the fabric with allowances for seams, you can immediately make her a swimsuit. But you can not bother, but cut out all the details from a single piece of fabric. I sewed from milk fleece. Although linen or thick cotton is also a good fit.

Sew and twist the parts.

Fill in with holofiber or synthetic winterizer, not necessarily tight arms and legs, but the head and body are preferably denser.

To prevent the details of the head from slipping when stitching, fasten them with safety pins and scribble directly on them.

Turn your head out and fill it tightly with filler.

Pull the thread at the level of the eye line so that they do not warp on the face. Mark their locations with pins, just like nose and lips. Make special cuts under the eyes.

For eyelids, cut strips of fabric along the contour of the eye and a width of 1.5 cm and glue them with the front of the fabric to the side of the blanks.

Turn the strip of fabric back, close it and sew on the back. If you are using not a fleece, but another fabric, then put a little padding pad inside the strip for eyelid volume.

Gently glue the eyes into the slots, push them so that the eyelids are flush with the face and you can grab them with a needle and thread with a hidden seam.

At the bottom of the head, make a cross-shaped incision for the neck so that the place of sewing the torso with the head is neat.

Prepare a synthetic winterizer and an empty reel, if it is not there, you can simply roll the cardboard into a tube or even a newspaper sheet.

Wrap the spool with filler and thread tightly.

Insert into a tightly packed body and wrap with thread, grabbing the fabric of the body, then lightly go with glue for reliability.

Make a recess through the cross-shaped hole for the tube with scissors and place the head on it. Glue with glue and sew with threads in a blind seam. Such a head fits tightly on the neck.

Here you can see how the joints of the arms and legs are sewn, for free ponytails of the fabric, you can use any seam, you will still wear a doll. And such moving arms and legs give a lot of room for the game.

Now she’s already assembled, in principle, at this stage she can be put on, and she will be ready.

Yes, buy the cheapest cilia and cut one in half. Glue each half to the eyelids - our girl immediately changed.

Now we’ll make her a wig, hairs that can be combed and styled. To do this, crochet a hat with crochet columns.

Cut the threads to the length you need. Divide each into three components if it is a thick thread. Then, using the hook, prying the knitted edge, we hang the threads all over the cap, previously folded in half starting from the bottom row. We catch the threads for each column and reach the crown. Here you can hang between the rows more often.
