I'm just under the upper size limit, so hopefully I can get her on a base without exceeding it. I've not yet decided on hair yet, but want to use a fiber that will travel well.

Oh that I could make a doll to look like that :) Wow. Do you have any stuffing tricks. I read some where that a good tip for stuffing a body well
ReplyDeletewith no wrinkles is to lightly dampen each piece with a mister. I haven't tried it as yet.
Hi Mary Ann,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for leaving a comment. I really hate stuffing. It's one of the trickiest parts of making dolls - a mindless activity at best, and aggravating at worst. I don't have any especially great tricks. I guess I do try to stuff into the center of the part I'm stuffing, so the pressure of the polyfil goes outward. That seems to be the way I can minimize lumps and wrinkles. I have stuffed parts that I've dampened, too, and that may help somewhat. I'm sure everyone has a method they use, but part of it may be dictated by the brand of stuffing used.
