Welcome to my Blog, a Crafting Year

Hello
I taught myself to knit in 2011 I have been posting photos of my knitting creations on facebook but as I am starting to bore my friends I have created this blog to record my progress. Then I thought I might try my hand at other crafts and see how I get along. I will try a different craft every month and you can read about my successes and failures and even laugh at my photos as I try different things like felting, crochet, sewing, papercrafts etc and try and make a few things from the kids favourite book Star Wars crafts, amongst others...lets see how it goes

Stuffing

Time to stuff the dolls.
So I followed the instructions and started to stuff.
 First the feet..


Doesn't look much like a foot. My husband reckons it was the heart especially when compared to the photo in the book...


Remember I have 4 feet to do as I am making two dolls at the same time (I have twins who don't wait)


Next was the body which proved interesting especially as the first doll had one leg longer than the other...opps!


Then you add the head

which you can't over stuff or the clothes won't fit


Next was the arms which you attached from the neck and sewed a line across for the wrist definition

Finally the other arm as well and you have * drum roll*

With a very pleased Noah in the back ground. He still has a leg that is slightly too long but they are very pleased. But what does he look like clothed

Ta Dah!!
However he still needs hair and a face so still a work in progress. The kids are delighted with them and are desperate to get their hands on them so back to work.
