Why Fabric Stretch is Important in Doll Making - How to Cut Doll Patterns out the Right Way!

[@wkrd0720]

Thank you so much. This explains why one of my dolls is so much longer and skinnier than another. I too like the chubbier, bigger head look. I love you videos. They are helping my doll making tremendously. I also love, love LOVE all your patterns. Thank you for all that you do.

Thank you for this video!!! I have a few questions. I've seen so many people use a straight stitch with stretch fabric when making dollies and their clothes. Is this what you'd use as well?? For instance, let's say I'm making socks or a dress, could i still use a straight stitch? What if i want to add lace trim on the stretch fabric? How would i go about that? Thanks!!

I am just finishing dolls #2 & #3 schoolgirl and sweet sister ITH patterns. I used kona cotton for the face which I backed with an iron on interfacing. No matter how much I stuff, I can't get some of the wrinkles out? Any tips? Should I not back the cotton with the interfacing? I thought it would make it more durable. I love your patterns and will be making many more.

So pleased you're having fun with my patterns. No I don't recommend you back the face or any of the fabric. It makes the fabric stiff and those wrinkles especially around the edges of rounded seams in the hands head etc will pucker ... use your kona on your next doll, and after you stuff them (they take a ton of stuffing) spritz the face with distilled water and they will magically fall out . Pop over to the free tutorials section on my website for a full explanation on this 😘✂️🧵 take care and happy new year sewing!
