you can absolutely do it by hand, it's just the outline of the doll body you'd use the machine for, you'd just want to double stitch to ensure tight seams. the hardest part, for me, was the hair, consider buying that premade  _________________ joline

Yes, if you'd like your first doll attempt to be a success, I would get premade had and hair. Does she offer premade bodies? If so, I still would pass on that, making the body is REALLY easy, IMO. _________________ joline

oops, what I meant to say was even if you owned a machine, you'd only use it to sew the outline of the doll body. And so, sewing that piece by hand really wouldn't be that hard, I think you'd just want to go around twice to ensure a tight seam, KWIM? _________________ joline

Anyone know the size of the Snuggles dolls or Baby Bundles? I don't see it mentioned anywhere but maybe I've overlooked it. _________________ Karen ~ wife to Edwin since '87 and mommy to Jason (8) and Sarah |
