Today many needlewomen create their own handsamazing exclusive interior dolls. Of course, they can also be played. But the main task of such things is decorating the interior. After all, they are so charming! And to create these masterpieces will help the design of a full size Snowy doll.

Loshozhka from Tatyana Konne

Master of needlework Tatyana Konne isthe Russian designer. After studying at the International University of Business and Management, Design and Advertising, she did not work long in her specialty. Having discovered the world of hand-made dolls, Tatyana has been creating exclusive toys for six years.

The modern fashionable model created by the author Connie is the Snowball doll. The main features of it:

• stout, firm legs;
• fairly large feet;
• round big face with small eye-dots;
• absence of mouth and often even of nose;
• pretty haircut;
• carefully thought-out and beautifully sewn or knitted clothing;
• Attracting attention shoes;
• exquisite accessories;
• A natural fabric of manufacturing (the orders and accessories from artificial materials are supposed).

Some authors add a pet to their Sniegee. This is already considered an individual style of the master.

Where does the full size Snowflake doll take?

It should be noted that Tatyana Konne herselfdistributes its own master classes, does not print journals and does not maintain training sites. Therefore, a full-size Snowflake doll designed by the author, on the Internet and in the media is missing. But handicraft dollmakers themselves invent it for themselves.

Therefore, for sewing, you can use a full-size Snowflake doll design, suggested by other masters. Although you can always create it yourself.

What is necessary for making an exclusive Snowball doll?

Rudders who are fond of creatingsoft toys, you may not even need to go to the store to purchase something extra. Most often they already have everything they need. And if a successful pattern of a full-length Snowball doll is found, the material for manufacturing and the tools for the job will not be able to prepare labor.

So, the master will need:

• fabric cream or flesh-colored, best cotton, flax, satin, coarse calico or knitwear;
• wadding, pieces of foam or sintepon for filling;
• materials for the manufacture of attire;
• puppet wig or wool for felting;
• blush, black paint for drawing eyes;
• a small piece of cardboard for the soles.

Preparation for work

So, first on paper is transferred and cut outa full size snowflake doll. The photo below shows that there is a variant of a solid body, with a head that is cut directly from the body, and not sewn afterwards, as suggested in the pattern given above.

If the tissue of the corporalshade, you can take white matter and paint with coffee or tea. For this, tea or coffee is added to the water. It is important that the color of the liquid is 2-3 tones more saturated than the natural shade of the human skin. In the same place, dissolve a tablespoon of salt and bring the solution to a boil. The cloth is immersed in a liquid and boiled on low heat for 20 minutes to an hour.

Then the pressed matter should be kept about 10minutes in an aqueous solution of vinegar. Take about 2 tablespoons for 5 liters of water. After this procedure, the fabric is well rinsed, dried and ironed.

It is recommended first to try painting on a small piece of material in order to not be mistaken with the saturation of the shade.

Cutting parts

This stage of work is fundamental. To fix the patterns use pins, which pins to the material pattern of the Snowball doll in full size. The master class of manufacture necessarily underlines, that all paper details should be spared from each other a minimum on 1 centimeter. When making a cut, you should make allowances for seams about half a centimeter.

It is recommended that before starting work with scissorscircle the contours of the patterns with a self-selecting marker or chalk, with dry soap. In extreme cases, you can use a thin pencil. But the handle is better not to try. The ink left on the edges of the parts can subsequently spread out all over the doll, especially when it needs to be washed, or it accidentally gets wet.

If it is required for the manufacture of 2 parts, then the matter is folded in half, face inward. It's not recommended to cut out 4 parts at once, as they will not be absolutely equal in size.

The same algorithm obeys the work ondoll outfits. First, prepare patterns, then lay out the details on the fabric, fasten them with pins. And only then you can trace the contours of the patterns and then cut them with scissors.

Step-by-step instruction for making Snowball dolls

After all the details have been cut,should begin to sew toys. On the machine or manually the parts are sewn, leaving small holes. They are needed in order to be able to fill the workpieces with filler through them. At the end of this procedure, all holes are closed with a secret seam. If the pattern of the Snowball doll is successfully executed in full size, sewing it will not be difficult.

The most difficult, perhaps, in this model is the work on the doll's feet. After cutting the fabric, you need to make a separate pattern of the soles of the cardboard. They cut out without allowances.

The cardboard soles adhere to the details of the foot from the fabric. At the edges should remain allowances. Attaching these details to the workpieces of the legs, you need to sew the soles. The holes for packing are left on top.

Collect the doll in such a sequence.

1. First, sew the head to the neck, if this option is chosen.
2. Then the pens and feet are fastened with buttons to the body.
3. On the head glue a wig or wool for felting.
4. Draw on the face of the eye with paint.
5. Brush the blush on your cheeks.
6. Dress up a doll in a dress, trousers, a hat and boots.

And now this cute little doll Snezka can be put on a prominent place in the house or give to someone who really wants to do nice. And let it bring joy and happiness!
