Introducing Marcus
The Waldorf Doll is FINISHED! Here is Marcus, as he's been named. I'm happy to say that Spunky ADORES him, and although I'm still working on his clothing, and getting ready to start my second doll, I enjoyed this process more than I ever imagined!
Things I learned while making Marcus:
- Pinning the fabric around the head and shoulders makes it much easier to sew.
- I highly recommend sewing up the shoulders first to be sure you have a symmetrical body.
- Using a smaller needle to sew on the head and arms makes it easier to make smaller, hidden stitches.
- You need A LOT of yarn for the hair, and I prefer chunkier, thicker hair to mohair, though mohair is brushable.
- When rouging the cheeks, rub a bit of red beeswax crayon on a face cloth, then rub the face cloth on to the doll's face.
I can't wait to make the next...it's so addictive!Labels: organic, Playtime
