Drawing and Sculpting Doll Faces
From the very basics of drawing cloth doll faces to sculpting doll heads, Patti covers everything you will need to know and demonstrates the process of making cloth doll faces and heads step by step.
Making Doll Heads, Bodies & Hands
Patti takes the often challenging process of making doll heads, bodies and hands and turns it into a fun and easy project. Follow along with the enclosed pattern + instructions as you learn to stitch the body, make doll heads, hands and bodices and more.
Sewing and Stuffing Doll Bodies
Grab your Polyfil™ bag and your forceps — we are going to stuff that doll! Sewing and stuffing doll bodies is simple once you see it demonstrated and we have lots of close-ups of Patti at work to get you started.
Dressing & Embellishing Doll Bodies
One of the most interesting ways of dressing your cloth doll is by creating clothing that is part of the doll’s body. Patti develops some embellished fabrics and then sews them into arms and a bodice (torso) before attaching the upper bust and legs. Loads of examples of finished cloth dolls included.
Finishing & Presenting Cloth Dolls
One of the most rewarding things you can do is finish and present your cloth doll. Patti provides a lot of insight and as well galleries of dolls by her students that were sent to her to show during the workshop. Whether your finished cloth doll is seated, perched or standing, you will find some inspiration here.
Doll Pattern & Instructions Included
Cloth Doll Making with Patti Medaris Culea includes a bonus doll pattern and instructions on how to create a doll like Patti has made in the workshop. Download and print the “Ilmaria: Guardian of the Stars” cloth doll pattern, grab some colored and batik fabrics, and get ready to sew!
