Love the doll

[@paulatate4513]

Can you make a tutorial on how to make feet on the doll. I looked at several tutorials and were unable to find any good ones. And thank you for the tutorial on the pleated skirt. I made it and it came out beautiful. Great instructions😊👍👏.

She is so cute I am new to your video and I thank you are so so gifted. I can make cloth dolls. But after seeing your dolls I just had to try my hands to crochet one. I ordered your book today from Amazon can't wait to get it. We need more of you keep up the great work.

[@teenecole1959]

Hello, I LOVE YOUR ENERGY!!!! They way it comes through the camera is awesome. Someone already said it but… Cheyney University of Pennsylvania is a public HBCU Founded in 1837, it is the oldest university out of all historically black colleges and universities in the United States. Or my wonderful alma mater Clark Atlanta University (CAU)

[@MyPrettyBrownDoll]

Thank you so much! Yes been quite a few request for both of these schools

[@elondawilliams7108]

Bringston University ( TV Show All American Homecoming)!!!

[@carolinefortheloveofcrochet]

I am so glad you mentioned That show, A different World. brought back memories. She was such a character 🫶🏼❤ Those eyes love love❤ I bought your book😊

[@MyPrettyBrownDoll]

Thank you so much!

[@debrashelhammer3837]

I love your dolls! I bought your book. I am looking forward to making one!💕

[@bobbiebristol1712]

Love it. I suggest Morgan State University. Excited to see the rest of the schools

[@ohsoprettycrochet306]

She is beautiful!! I would like to suggest FAM U or Jackson State . I personally went to St Augustine University in Raleigh NC

[@evyonnastevenson105]

For the state of Pennsylvania, please consider Lincoln University which is the oldest university and don’t forget Cheyney University of Pennsylvania. I’ve had family that’s graduated from both of these institutions.

[@MyPrettyBrownDoll]

Definitely had Lincoln on the list 😉

[@sandralemons2640]

Beautiful 😍. I wish they still had warm brown, one of my favorites.

[@ashsavvy0143]

UAPB- University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff

[@lindawilliams2716]

She is gorgeous! Where can your "curvy doll" pattern be found pplease?

[@MyPrettyBrownDoll]

It’s available on Etsy here tidd.ly/3DDmeBt

[@yasinavalchristopher-d1112]

I’m interested in the link please your just so inspirational I need to be in your group please

[@donnafubler2935]

She is beautiful. Can you tell me how you kerp the head from from not being wobbly.

[@MyPrettyBrownDoll]

I use a dowel you can see how in this video around the 22 minute mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/foG5ioWHjq2NqLc

[@donnafubler2935]

Thank you do you cover your dowell with tape as the young lady i am making the doll for wants to play with the doll a lot

[@MyPrettyBrownDoll]

I do not as I do not make my dolls for heavy play. For that I do recommend the patterns from My Kinda Thing as the construction of her dolls can handle heavy play. tidd.ly/3HTLfuL

[@GGTheCrochetQueen]

Send red heart/yarnspiration regarding the yarn. They may start making it again. You may want to start a petition to send with your request.

[@MyPrettyBrownDoll]

We did a petition when they first announced it being discontinued and they was like umm not our problem lol

[@lindawilliams2716]

Premiere Yarn had a warm brown also that was discontinued. Sometimes you can find sales for on Etsy from other individuals.

[@ingagreen317]

Some recommendations: Virginia Union University, Richmond VA, Virginia State University State University, Petersburg, VA, Norfolk State University, Norfolk, VA....!!!!

[@jessicasmith8618]

I have made my first doll, but can't figure out her head and hair and headband. Do you have patterns for different size heads with hair?

[@MsMarybetty]

Where did you get the Hillman Logo?

[@MyPrettyBrownDoll]

From Etsy it’s a few but this one worked the best for me tidd.ly/3XZQ5fP

[@elondawilliams7108]

How do I get added to the No sew doll Facebook group???

[@MyPrettyBrownDoll]

bit.ly/noseworkshop is the link for the No Sew

[@daniellebrooks1652]

Clark Atlanta University

[@kathyhardyjones6757]

What did you use to make the logo I’m a graduate of Wilberforce University and I’d like to make other logos. My daughter has a Cricut. Love it.

[@MyPrettyBrownDoll]

When I did the event at the NC Museum of History I met a lady who also said she graduated from Wilberforce first time I had heard of the school so just peaked my interest when you said you graduated from there. To answer your question I used a printable vinyl from Siser and then cut it with my Cricut maker.

[@kathyhardyjones6757]

@@MyPrettyBrownDoll I thought I sent you a request that Wilberforce be considered as one of the HBCU dolls that you consider. It was established in 1856 as the first Black owned and operated school/college. Key word “OWNED and OPERATED” the others are land grant schools where the states or Federal governments helped establish them. It was established by the African Methodist Episcopal Church to educate free people of color and escaped slaves. It still is owned and operated by the AME Church. Lots of history there. I wish I knew who it was that you met. I graduated in 1979 before Hillman was a thought.😜 I hope you would consider it. Thanks Enjoy your coffee!
