CLASS DESCRIPTION

You will start with the basics on how to make a primitive/country cloth doll.  These beginning dolls are simple and easy to make with button eyes and hand-embroidered eyebrows, eyelashes, mouth and nose; simple enough for beginners to master. You will learn my personal doll-making techniques that can be used on all my patterns. These are dolls that you will want to make again and again; they will make a perfect gift to give away or to keep and add to your own collection.

LESSON PLAN

Lesson 2: Tea dying your doll.

Lesson 3:  The head, drawing and embroidering the face, and attaching the button eyes.
Lesson 4: Hair, sewing clothes, dressing your doll and final touches.
