My 3 Bed Dolls

[Nanachar]

Very beautiful!!! Great job. I can't wait for my granddaughters to get old enough for these then I will make them for them.

All I can say is they are all three beautiful. I am sure a lot of work goes into them. I can understand you not wanting to part with them. There will be three happy people.

They are all gorgeous, but the second one is my fav.

All 3 are beautiful. Really love the pineapples! About how long does it take to make one of those?

Actually that is a great question:) At first I was doing what the patterns call for, a crocheted form that has a tube in the center for the doll to stand in, then when finished crocheting the form, you put in some fiber fill to stuff and have a drawstring to close the bottom, after you cut yourself a piece of cardboard, matting or something that will help the bottom have a flat shape.

I still do crochet some of the forms but I have to be honest here:) I sometimes do the sewn ones, that finally came out, I don't know what year or pattern. I find too that the forms you sew seem to be more smooth than just stuffing the crocheted form.

There are lots of free patterns for fashion doll dresses, bed dolls, etc on the web, I hope you have found one:)

 

 

Thank you,

There are others on here that make dolls, so maybe they will chime in and tell us what they use for their forms.

They are gorgeous!

All I can say is WOW!

I usually crochet the form, but every once in a while, I use tully to fill the skirt out.

It depends on the dress. Using the tully, will give the skirt a more natural look to it.
