Yay I finally finished my first apple head doll





I learned so much that I'll make the next one in a much more efficient manner. For one, put the head on last after the body is stuffed and the clothes are on it! Glue hair on last!

I named her Maddy. I'm so happy I finally finished one. It was intimidating. I had to keep reminding myself that if I could sew people clothes I could figure out how to make doll clothes. And it helps to remember the skirt is a circle and the scarf and shawl are both triangles. The shirt is a t-tunic. The hands and legs are made from a tan sock. Now I have more confidence in the whole process.

Working on a new batch of apple head dolls.












I just added the wire bodies and eyes to some of the heads. I bought the batting to make the bodies with so that's the next step. For an article on it look here: http://hubpages.com/_l6f64eotqm13/hub/Make_An_Apple_Head_Doll_Part_1
