CLASS DESCRIPTION

Meant to be fun, my classes are not held to any specific time table.  Create as fast or as slow as you like, as long as you are enjoying yourself.  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 1: The beginnings, tracing, layout, sewing, stuffing.

Lesson 2: Tea dying or coffee/vanilla baking 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.
