Tutorial: dolls with limbs folded

I resolved to build a house for Martha wooden dolls, I've seen beautiful and colorful (I especially love the one of Sevi.). Before starting I wanted to buy a set of dolls of the type of wood furniture with legs that usually sold "to families." Turning on the net but have not found what I was looking for: none of us like family. A party is always in four mothers always have the skirt, the colors are too "Tyrolean". So I thought: what if I tried to do it myself? To work!

start from the head. As a "base" I used the fingers of an old woolen glove. Inside I put a ball of wool and I closed at the neck. The following procedure is to Waldorf style dolls: with a string you do bindings to give the shape of the head. The heads in question are approximately 3 cm in height.

Then Everything is covered with a flesh-colored cotton fabric, you sew and embroider eyes and mouth.

trying to structure a material that was resistant but soft to bend at the same time. After discarding the wire because it is too hard, I finally found a nursery in a coated steel wire with diameter of only one millimeter. Used twice remains light and bends easily.

Attention to proportions, the head is about one fourth of the total or less, adjust until a design is not convincing. After you create the "skeleton" takes you to finish. Strips of raw wool (Carded or, even better) to wrap limbs and body, stops with a standard sewing thread.

prepare a paper pattern for the fabric that will play everything:

I cut and sewn by hand (too small for the car), then I started to cover my arms and I sewed together the two sides.

I hold the rest of the body. Sew all open sides.

Finish to apply the hair of wool and fix them on the head with the sewing thread. Here is the first doll to be ready dressed.

And she dressed.
