My doll making adventure begins today.

After some futile efforts to score a doll for Emmy's birthday I decided to order a kit and make one myself. Indifferent Supplies just arrived. I have never sewn anything... ever. I don't even know how to thread my sewing machine, I make my H do it. Stick out tongue Supposedly, it's not that difficult if you follow the instructions. We'll see!

    Oooh, who did you get the kit from?  I ordered a kit too and fully intend to make it for J's 2nd birthday in 2 months.  But I haven't started yet so... we'll see!  Maybe I'll be inspired by you to get down to business ;)

    I ordered the Joy's Waldorf Dolls 10 inch brother/sister doll pattern. I'm going to make 2 girls though, I think. I've been working on the head for a bit and my hands HURT! It's really hard to get the wool tightly packed. Ouch, ouch, ouch! lol

    I can take pictures of the process... right now my picture would just be of a pile of wool though ;)

    Hey, same one I got!  Well, I got a boy with yarn etc to match J's hair/eye/skin color :)

    Do you know how to wet felt?  That's how I got the head tightly packed.  That's all I've done so far though, lol.

    No idea how to wet felt! Would love some tips though :) The instructions in the book say to just cut strips and roll tightly into a ball.. yeah, right! lol
