This doll is for my little friend Hollie who turns 4 in 3 weeks.I find this bit the hardest. When the doll is inside out there isn't much room for all the arms and legs plus pins. Tonight my plan is to pin the head, arms and side. Stitch and then position the legs and stitch again. 
If anyone has any tips - I'd love to hear them.
hmmm the sewing of seperate appendages is the trickiest i think. after 12 months of sewing softies i have no better advice other than reduce the stuffing of arms/legs at the opening so they can be pinned flatter inside the fabric sandwich. use lots of pins. hope for the best. wonky is cute anyhow {isnt that what Nick said? hehe} u must play with Picnik.com
ReplyDeleteOh this is why I have no patience for this stuff haha...When you figure out some tips let us know..I could use them :P....Cute little one though!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm much help with suggestions - I always just wing it in whichever ways I can make it work ;) It's looking great so far. K
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to be much help either but i love the look of the Ruby doll and hope you find a good way to answer this tricky question. I bet the birthday girl is going to love this pressie xo
ReplyDeletehmmm...me neither...just persevere and patience...sorry...that sounds more like your mum talking right?...looks great too
ReplyDeleteNot sure there is a better way than what you're doing - sorry to be no help at all! The doll is so lovely - your little friend will love it!
ReplyDeleteshe is looking very cute. i always struggle in that final step of softie assembly. i agree that reducing the stuffing in the opening of limbs helps and i also do this weird inside out contortionist thing (not me personally) it seems to work
