Cloth Dollmaking for Everyone!
The class for beginners as well as the
more advanced dollmakers.
by Judi Ward
This class will begin
with a two piece pancake doll, and progress through 3 more dolls, getting
more and more advanced each time. You will be provided with complete  patterns
for all dolls, and patterns for a multi piece, mix and match wardrobe of dress, petticoat,
skirt, apron, pinafore, gown that is also a blouse and slip, pantaloons,
vest, hat, shoes, sandals and stockings.
The doll variations will
include 4 hands. 4 feet, including high heel feet. 4 bodies, including
one with a bust. 4 heads, including a pretty profile face with light
sculpting. Variations for all will be taught, including invisible jointing,
feature placement for changing your dolls age, even a Raggedy adaptation.
Learn all the techniques
needed to make beautiful, quality cloth dolls, whether they are simple
or detailed.
We will cover sewing, turning
and stuffing detailed fingers. Articulating fingers and even arms and
legs. We will cover stuffing extensively! We will cover basic hairstyling,
face placement, and basic painting and shading of the features.
(NOTE: For extensive painting and hairstyling classes, check out the
other classes at Crafty College.)
Also please note that the 2 heads without
bodies in the picture are just showing 2 face and head variations.
This class will answer
almost every question you have about making cloth dolls, but will not
teach nylon stocking needlesculpting like Lisa Lichtenfels
dolls, nor face mask dolls.
Join us for this definitive
class de-mystifying cloth dollmaking. This class is a bargain for just
the patterns!!

Chapter 4…Stuffing

easily broken wire.
Chapter 5…Making
the Beginner Doll, as an Angel named “Angelique”. She is a 2 piece
“pancake” style doll, but looks so detailed when done. Includes the
face techniques for the simple face. The simple hairstyle, that looks
so elegant, and the easy gown, wings, and simplest, cleverest sandals
you have ever seen.
Chapter 6…Making
the Intermediate doll, named “Maria”. She is a 6 part, tab head doll
with stitched on limbs and all-together fingers. Includes template
face placement, and reverse template face placement. The gown is now

a rounded head design, a 4 part shaped body, and outside jointing.

together to make it a little simpler. Her clothes use the skirt as
a slip, and include a dress pattern, pantaloons and vest too.
Learn yet another variation on the basic hairstyle, and more shading
techniques for the face. Susannah” is a good candidate for the
wiring methods taught in chapter 3.

jointing, a profile face, a 4 part body with a bust, belly button

are a dress with a pinafore, to be used with the flat foot version.
A formal variation of the dress
to be used with the high heel foot version. A picture hat to be worn
with any of the clothes. Sorry, the formal dress version is not pictured,
but the drawings will be very “true to life”. “Jennifer” is also a
good candidate for the wiring methods taught in chapter 3.
Chapter 9…Making
changes, to add even more variety to the patterns. Including my famous
“wrap ups”! All the little extras you didn’t even know you wanted
to know! And extra things I decide to add as the class progresses!
