16:45 Andrew, Your soothing voice, drew me into your doll making process. As a writer, I appreciate your story telling process. I agree making a doll is very cathartic, and watching the doll being pieced together being brought to life metaphorically. I listened to your reel several times, your voice reassuring me , I can make a doll using your pattern. Look forward to your next tutorial. ❤
I am so glad to have found your teachings. Your voice is soothing as well,thanks for the extra tips, I will add them to my own dolls! Thanks for making this video!
You have re-inspired me again with this video. Thank you for explaining and showing the process on making your doll. Your voice is absolutely hypnotic, so soothing. Thank you❣️☘️🙏
Im making clothespin dolls,at the moment. They are so much fun... I love making dolls and love❤ to watch others create them...just as much! Thank you, Sweety!❤
Isn’t it always the final stitches!!! As soon as you said, “…almost there…” I felt that familiar anticipation that often seems to trigger a thread fiasco. I’m so glad you shared your process and that I had the chance to watch it. I’ve fantasized for decades about creating an articulated fabric doll. I now have a much clearer vision of how it might be managed. Your serene encouragement and the terrific outcome of your example has given me a new spark of confidence.
Just found you, I just purchased your pattern and I'm going to give it a go, I have two sewing machines but not much savvy on how to use them so I'm going to attempt to hand sew, I think!
I used to make cloth dolls. I even tried my hand at a bjd! I wish I would have kept it up. I even sold a few. I don't know what happened... I just lost interest. I am looking for inspiration. Your technique is so basic and straight to the point. I love it. Thank you for this beautiful video. I like how you sew around the pattern pieces, then cut them out. Great idea!
I saw this in my side bar and clicked because I am still looking for a good doll pattern, your design is so pretty and I love the proportions! I definitely will buy it I think...and I subbed too! now I need to watch everything! and I LOVE your hair!
Hahaha I love your vibe! I’m new to doll making. I’ve made miniature clay dolls but am finishing my second rag doll. I’m making one for each of my four grandkids. I love it! I see a doll shelf in my future.
I just stumbled across your videos and I'm so trilled!. I learned so much from just this one but another one as well. I really learned a lot when you said, have fun, they don't need to be perfect because human faces are not perfect just have fun and let your creativity flow. Thank you!.. Also, would love for you two make a pattern for a small doll, maybe 6-7"., pretty please ❤️
i follow you on tiktok too! i love your videos so much, I have friends and people in my life that question my hobby in doll making since I am male. I love you and inspire to have your creativity.
Watching this tutorial was very soothing, your voice is very soft. I learned how to sew in a not so calming environment, it's more about how much and how quickly you can finish a project rather than enjoying to make it and making sure the project actually looks good. I love sewing, but those environments drain the joy of it. Thank you for the tutorial, you're a wonderful teacher. 🩵
this was amazing to watch, I started the process of making my first ball jointed doll over this past summer and I got through all of the sculpting but have been delaying baking and painting her for some time now and this is making me really want to get my tools back out
I never thought about sewing everything before cutting the pattern pieces out. It looks so much easyer. Im going to try it. I dont like to use muslin for my dolls. I use pimatex. It has a tighter weave. I make my dolls with separate fingers so the tighter weave keeps the fabric from shedding. I like to make the separate fingers so i can put pipe cleaner into them so i can pose them.
I have loved your dolls since I discovered the Ann Demeulemeester and Rick Owens ones maybe ten + years ago ! Psyched to try one of my own thank you :)
I've made several tilda dolls and they're made much as yours is. I sew seems at the knees and elbows for bendable joints. Gotta watch those seems carefully when stuffing... I've blown out a few and then the doll gets a tattoo .. You might try using turning tubes. The tube is the length of the chopstick and bigger so that the stick and fabric can fit over it, and in it. Makes turning so easy and quick. You can find them where sewing or doll making supplies are sold. I've added breasts to my dolls and I prefer the clothes to be removable because half of doll play is changing outfits. I like your pattern. I wonder how it will transfer into clay? Sigh... Why are we doll (and toy) enthusiasts sprinkled far and wide about the world?
Looks great, however I feel like her arms are rather long proportional to her legs. The tips of my fingers are in line with the bottom of my pelvis not my knees.
He uses muslin but any firm weave will do. I use pimatex because it's a very tight weave. I make separate fingers and the tighter weave of the pimatex keeps the fabric from fraying.
@@breeinatree4811 Thank you for your response. I am from Iraq. We do not have this type of fabric. I do not know how to obtain it. Do you know the countries that can export fabric to Iraq?
