How to Make a doll

According to doll’s measurements, cloth and cotten. scissors, a ruler, chalk, needle, a ball of thread.

First, you must select a cloth and shape. In my case, I have bought cloth that was very soft to the touch like a towel because it was easy to clean. Also because a person making a doll for a first time finds it difficult, I have bought a simple shape. If you are a beginner, you had better select it. when you buy it in shop, selecting  a cloth and shape is very important. While you male it, you may lost interest in the doll. The second step is to sketch in cloth with a chalk. You must sketch arms. legs, a face and a belly according to doll’s measurements. When you sketch, too thick and dim sketching line is bad because it is difficult to stitch straightly. The next, you should cut out all part of cloth to measure. You must margin to sew up. Then leave a small hole and stitch hard in each part. If you don’t stitch hard, it can tear apart while you wash it. A small hole use to turn the other side and you put a cotten in it. At this, it is important to put it firmly. And then, stitch up a small hole. Finally, you must attach arms, legs, and a head of doll to the belly. I did it as if I sew buttons. If you do so, it is very easy.

During making a doll, you will know that it is a easy and fun.
