Two New Dolls to Make

With these two girls, I decided to add a bustline. They have got curves all day long now. This will be fun. I love stretchy knit fabrics, because they show off curves so well. I found this great brown and pink stripe that I have to incorporate. Not sure about the pants yet being the stripe.

I have added some photos of my stages of progress. First, I always start with my torso pattern and after it is sewn I stuff it and then I cover my dowels with batting to make the legs. I have extra batting at top to create the curves of the hip area. I cut 2 holes in the torso to shove the legs into and then pull the corners of the torso in toward the mid area to make a rounder bottom. The extra batting is pulled tight up over the hips and sewn. I have this heavy fabric that I sew to make an under pant leg. This also has extra fabric that gets pulled over the batting at the hip to create a smooth curvaceous bottom..................................

Her boobs start off as 2 some what pizza slice shape pieces of knit that are sewn together and turned and I cut a slit in the back and stuff with polyfill. I pin these in place and sew on to the doll.

Are these two girls the craziest looking pieced together women you ever saw? Dolls always have a Frankenstein phase they go through. Fear not clothing is soon to appear............................
