Hi Lucia, I do not have courses in portuguese but for some of my videos that have spoken voice, you can turn on the closed captions, and then in the "settings" (the little gear icon) you can ask KZbin to automatically translate them to portuguese. Of course the translation is not perfect but you can get more of the gist of the video. Other than that I know it is very frustrating to have to translate the instructions sentence by sentence via google translate.

Hi, I was wanting to make a waldorf doll for my little sister. I was just wondering, does the width (or overall size) of the stockinette matter? :)
@Figandme9 күн бұрын
Yes it does but not as much as you think. You want enough stretch to contain the head and the wool, and enough length so you can make the belly.

When I work on my dolls I always have classical music playing, it helps me concentrate and work more harmoniously. I try to instill the same ethos in my videos, always choosing music that to me is inspiring and calming, and many people enjoy using my tutorials even more because of it. I know that those that do not wish to hear the music can simply mute the video and the experience of those musically attuned is not lessened. It is not that the video or me as a dollmaker "lack confidence" but the contrary. I am confident that people can use the tutorial using both experiences, I like giving people options.

The Hansel and Gretel series is an introduction to dollmaking. This is how I started making my dolls 13 years ago. My techniques are much evolved and I no longer create my dolls this way, but I recommend you learn this way so you know the basics.

I am having such a hard time finding the tube gauze in 15 cm (or any other size for that matter). Do you have a source for the tubular gauze in rolls? I've only seen pre-cut sections sold by doll makers. I went through your blog post on materials, but I didn't see a source for the gauze. Did I miss it? Thank you 💜
@Figandme3 жыл бұрын
You can use tubular gauze or stockinette, they are interchangeable. It doesn't matter if they are slightly different in size, just if you find one that is slightly less wide, add a bit more length. You can purchase tubular gauze from The Olive Sparrow or Bear Dance Crafts, as well as Little Oke Dolls and Kamrin's Puppenatelier.

Do you mean double laying stockinette fabric, when you write 7,5 cm wide? When it single lays, then 15 cm? A sqare? I love your dolls.♥

Yes as my stockinette is a tube, so the width measurement would be doubled if yours is a single layer.

So, for the core of the head, do I need to wrap the core with string before putting the last few layers on the head? I've seen where some people do that. Is that only something that needs to be done on a larger doll? Just not sure whether its necessary to wrap the core with string or not... I just received the materials for making my first doll! I want to make it right.
@Figandme3 жыл бұрын
I make dolls up to 23” tall and I have never wrapped the core head in string. I have also never seen that done. I imagine it must be due to lack of being able to wrap a tight core ball.
