The process of making a doll figurine is not only a fascinating activity, but also useful and educational. In today's article, we will try to explain it to you in an accessible way and teach you how to easily create this beautiful product with your own hands. Dolls entered our lives long before we were born. Since ancient times, they have been an invariable attribute in the interiors of homes and an excellent toy for kids. In ancient times, almost all dolls were sewn by the caring hands of loving mothers and carried their love, warmth, experiences and, of course, love. Agree, there is nothing more pleasant and precious for a baby than to receive as a gift a doll sewn by his beloved mother. But today we will talk about a doll that will become, rather, a decoration, an interior item, than a banal toy. In this article we will try to teach you how to sew an interior doll "Anna Bollein" from fabric.There are two ways to sew this doll -a one-piece figure dressed in a dress of the appropriate time, or make all the details one by one. It is the second method that we want to offer you. So, we will begin our creative process with you by creating a face. Ideally, it is best to make sketches on paper, and only then transfer the idea to the fabric.Having completed the first stage, let's move on to the second.We need to cut out an oval for the face of our future doll. White fabric, textile or cotton will do for this purpose, at your discretion, but for the back of the head we will need to take black knitwear. We also need to cut out a rectangular piece, which will later become the doll's neck. In order for the neck to hold the head well, we will insert a bobbin (empty) from under the sewing threads into it.We also need to cut out an oval from cardboard, the dimensions of which will be slightly smaller than the previous ovals.Now we need to stitch the details of the face andback of the head together. On the back of the head oval, black, we need to make a small slit in order to turn the workpiece inside out. We need to wrap the small oval that we cut out of cardboard with padding polyester and insert it inside the workpiece. If necessary, we additionally stuff padding polyester on both the face and the back of the head. Hard cardboard will not allow the doll part to deform and will help maintain its shape. We model the nose on the doll's face. To do this, we need to make a small pinch, which we sew with a needle and thread on both sides, forming a roller of the required width.We make the head from cotton fabric according to the followingthe same principle as the previous version. Now we need to prime the doll's head, but only the future face of the product is subject to priming. As a priming material, we will use the most common PVA glue. Now we need to lay out on a sheet of paper the details of the neck, head and shoulders, which is a cardboard strip folded in two (for rigidity), wrapped in synthetic tape. Based on the dimensions of these parts, we need to draw a drawing of our future doll. We will select proportions individually, the main thing is that they look harmonious.At the same time, we can cut out a corsage from cardboard.In this version of the doll, the presence of lower limbs is not required, so it will be enough to make a torso and a fluffy petticoat.Now we need to stuff the body coverpadding polyester, as shown in the photo, and also insert a shoulder blank (a kind of spacer) and a neck inside. Carefully sew all the details. We need to sew a very fluffy lower skirt to the lower part of the body. Its role will be played by a fairly wide strip of white material. For splendor, we make this skirt pleated. It's time to get back to the face, or rather, tohis paintings. Our heads have dried after the primer, so we can start painting them. We will do this with acrylic paints. On the face made of cotton fabric, the paint will be clearer and more even, on the second version of the head (ribbed surface) the acrylic does not lay as evenly, so the image will be more blurry. Which version to leave is up to you.We will sew the head version we like to the neck.Let's start creating the details of the outfit.First, we need to make a skirt. It will be a long strip of material with an insert and sewn on the sides. A rectangular piece of fabric is cut out for the back. The bodice is a cardboard base covered with a piece of fabric. On the back side of the base, the fabric should be pulled together with threads, not glued, otherwise there may be significant problems with subsequent bead embroidery on it. It was the rigid bodices, which did not have cups, that were in fashion in the era that we are reproducing.Let's start preparing the hands.These are tubes without fingers. We need to stitch them, turn them inside out and fill them loosely with padding polyester. To make it easier to do, the padding polyester needs to be spirally wound onto a stick.The most difficult part of sewing a dress is the sleeves.We cut their lower part from two separate parts. To make the sleeves lush, one of them can be made larger and the other a little smaller. Now we will sew the parts together.We need to turn the finished strip inside out and sew it together with one edge to form a ring.For the lower part of the sleeves we make a narrow tube from the same material. Then we need to sew both parts of the arm, forearm, elbow, put on the arm a sleeve consisting of two parts.The hand put together looks like the one in the photo.On the body of our doll, on top of what is already sewn onlower skirt, we need to sew on the upper skirt, which we previously gathered on a thread. We also sew on the back details, shoulders and, finally, the bodice. We will sew everything exclusively by hand, with a blind stitch. At the very end, we sew on the arms.We need to make a cap that is brightdetail that allows us to identify the image we are creating. It has the shape of a so-called house. We will need to cut a strip out of cardboard. The main thing is not to forget that the figure of the doll is quite flat.Now we need to cut out the back part from cardboard, which will provide rigidity and shape.We cut out two pieces of fabric from a cardboard blank.parts, sew them together and turn them inside out. We have a cover that we will put on the cardboard part. One side of the cover should be black, and on the back side it, like the doll's face, should be white. When working, remember that the corners must be cut off. Then, when we turn the corner inside out, it will be clear. We will sew cross-striped fabric pieces onto the doll’s head, and then we will sew the cap piece onto them. All that remains is to decorate the cap with lace or a special ribbon (patterned), as well as beads. We will embroider the bodice with beads. We put on the finished cap, beads and our doll is ready.So, we figured out how to sew an interior doll "Anna Bollein" from fabric. We hope that our article helped you in your work.
