A Waldorf doll (also called Steiner doll) is a form of doll used in Waldorf education. Made of wool and cotton, using techniques drawing on traditional European dollmaking, its appearance is intentionally simple in order to allow the child playing with it to improve or strengthen imagination and creativity. For instance, it has no facial expression. Its legs and arms are flexible, allowing natural postures. Traditional Waldorf dolls are made from cotton interlock knit fabric and wool stuffing. They are often entirely natural. Typically the trademark long hair of a Waldorf doll is made of mohair or boucle. Some doll makers use alternative hair material such as wool, rayon, and cotton. The facial features of a Waldorf doll vary with the maker. Most Waldorf dolls have small suggestions of noses, their eye and mouth colors are generally varied with each doll.(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Etsy,Com By Bamboletta If you are interested in learning to make it, there are at the links below: http://www.livingcrafts.com/blog/doll-room/a-doll-for-every-child http://sarahsdolls.blogspot.fr/2010/08/how-to-weight-doll-tutorial.html http://www.waldorfdollmaking.com http://www.lapappadolce.net/manuale-per-realizzare-le-bambole-waldorf-i-capelli/ Making a Waldorf doll’s head (The Silver Penny) Waldorf Doll Head Tutorial (Moonchild Studio) Make a Waldorf-style doll (Green Bean Boutique) Crazy Haired Waldorf doll (Craftster) Wool Stuffed Doll (AFSC EMAP Sewing Projects) Jointed Waldorf Doll Sew Along (Tiptoe Fairy) Basic Instructions for a Waldorf Doll (Echoes of a Dream) Making a Waldorf Doll (photo tutorial by Beth) Wig Making for Waldorf Doll (photo tutorial by Beth) Waldorf Doll Hair Tutorial (Crafty Sheep) Waldorf Doll Hair: Centre Back Seam Clarified (Crafty Sheep)
I love this picture, it reminds me of me when I first used to sew my dolls clothes, I've had a love of sewing ever since! The artist is Linda Edgerton.
This will likely be the last custom spot of the year, but read on. We have a lot of info to cover.
In between wrapping Christmas gifts I've been working on three new knit girls :-) My knitting gauge is still not quite as it should be; the first two girls turned out a bit smaller than I intended. Violet and Jennifer ended up eight and a half inches tall. But I love small dolls, so they will fit right in. Their big sister Virginia is a few rows larger, which made her nine and a half inches tall. They all have lots of lovely mohair hair, and they were so fun to make. Now to get them dressed!
I know it's all a bit selfish to take so bloody long to finish the dolls. But in my defence, they were going to be of royal blood, wear tiaras and fancy nightgowns. Well, you can see that didn't pan out at all. The winter whites, and the rusty browns, and the copper and gold and silver were exchan

I recently received this question via email, and the interested doll maker was asking wether I “pad” my doll’s eyes or not. So I thought it a good idea to bring yet another of my lengthy posts but this time on doll’s eyes, with specific emphasis on embroidered ones.
In creating this little one, for a soon to be 12-years old little dollmaker, I feel like I am growing up. This entire year has been such a growth for me, when I actually decided I was going to do "this" (as I call dollmaking). Changing my patterns has always been a struggle f

Hello All, Today I will venture into yet another new country, Serbia. It is more difficult to find material on Serbian Folklore than it is for Croatia, for example. I am not sure why this is the case. Serbia has been a very forward looking country since they emerged from under the Ottoman Empire. I will be covering the most common Serbian costume, that of central Serbia, or Šumadija. This is the heart of Serbia, extending from Beograd south along the Morava river.This costume comes in several forms, varying mostly in the type of skirt. As in most of my posts, I will not be able to cover every variation. This photo above shows one of the more common versions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0umadija The basic garment, as in the rest of the Balkans and much of Eastern Europe, is the chemise. Typically there is a band collar and no cuffs. One typical feature of the Serbian chemise is that the sleeve is gathered just above the elbow. Very often a red garter or ribbon is tied around the arm at this point, as in the photo above. There is embroidery around the sleeve opening, around the neck opening, often on the lower part above the hem, and very often a spot design on the upper sleeve, above the gathered area. There is very little material on the traditional designs used. Today what is seen in almost all cases is multicolored cross-stitch floral designs which are very reminiscent of Berlin Work. This is of recent origin, not going past the mid 19th cent at most. There are various cuts used for the chemise, here is one version. There are also versions in which the sleeves are set in perpendicular to the body. The pieces used are narrow because the constraint of a hand-loom does not permit wider pieces to be woven. There are various vests or bodices worn with this costume, called pamuklija, djudica, grudniak, zubun, etc. The most commonly seen today is the one called jelek. Each of these vests has a different cut. The jelek is short, coming just to the waist, it hooks closed in front, with a point in the center and a curved opening on either side. It is usually red or black, and typically has rich ornamentation consisting of couched gold braid. For young women the neckline is low, functioning as a bustier, but for older women the neckline may be considerably higher. There are various types of skirts worn with this costume. One of the oldest and simplest is the two apron version. This has two aprons of a single panel each, the front apron being ornamented and the rear apron mostly plain, with ornamentation just along the bottom. This is common over much of eastern Europe. Here is a painting by the artist O. Benson showing a young woman from the village of Kumodraž near Beograd. On the left is a rear apron, on the right is a front apron. This is part of a painting by the artist Carol Pop de Szathmari, of a scene in a market in Beograd in the mid 1800's. What is most commonly seen today is a closed skirt woven in narrow stripes or plaid, often of two widths of cloth sewn together horizontally, with the plaid deliberately not matched. This is pleated finely, and usually has a black velvet hem and lace sewn onto it above that. See the image at the top of the article. Some forms of the skirt were plain in color with a decorated hem, either wide or narrow. Here is another part of the same painting by Carol Pop de Szatmari. The artist has painted himself into the scene at right. He was apparently a Hungarian Orthodox Priest. Below is another painting by Benson showing a young woman from the village of Kusadak. Some contemporary versions of the skirt in particular communities have become quite short.The first photo is from Užice. The second is from southern Pomoravlje. The most spectacular version of the skirt is basically the same as the narrow pleated one, but is not sewn closed in front, and is worn with the corners tucked into the waistband behind. This gives the outfit a lot of movement. Typically the hem that shows is ornamented with crochet and embroidery. See some of the images above. Here are a couple more images of that type of skirt. The kerchief wrapped around the torso seen in these last three images was commonly worn in the mid 1800's, under influence of Western fashion of the day. This has died out and is no longer seen. The last image is of a painting by Nikola Arsenović, who also painted in the mid 1800's. The apron is traditionally woven in tapestry technique, with colorful geometric motifs. Today it is more commonly made of red or black wool with floral cross-stitch or crewel embroidery. In the past, unmarried girls and brides often wore embroidered linen aprons, as you can see in this painting by Arsenović This is rarely seen today, however. There is often a striped sash tied around the waist. The stockings are hand knitted, either with geometric, or more often, floral designs either knitted into or embroidered onto them. The traditional footwear are moccasins, which are called opanci, They have thin goatskin strips woven on the uppers, and stereotypically in Serbia have curled toes. This is not traditionally true for all communities, but they have become somewhat of a symbol of Serbia. This last painting is by the celebrated Jugoslavian artist Vladimir Kirin. Thank you for reading, I hope that you have found this interesting and perhaps inspiring. Here is a website showing how a Serbian community in France made a 'parade giant' figure in Serbian costume named Bela Rada. There are many photographs of the finished figure, of the details of her costume and how she was made. Quite fascinating. http://belarada.canalblog.com/ A couple of Serbian groups performing traditional dances. Serbian dances are famous for small precise intricate footwork. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUlnyX-ijxM&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBHMgfJAB4g&feature=related This video shows the winged skirt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVaUo-DApwo&feature=related Feel free to contact me with requests for research. I hope to eventually cover all of Europe and the Former Russian Empire/Soviet Union. I also gratefully accept tips on source materials which i may not have. I also accept commissions to research/design, sew, and/or embroider costumes or other items for groups or individuals. I also choreograph and teach folk dance. Roman K.

I've been making a few of these for friends and neighbors who are having a frustrating time this winter. It's brought a smile to almost everyone's face! You can purchase them on a number of sites on the web, or you can make your own. You can do a google search for the poem, too, although I've included it at the end of this post to make it more convenient. This one is for my sister, she asked for a red one! Print out the pattern above. There is a 1" test square so you can adjust your printer, but it doesn't matter that much. The dolls can be any size. If you normally sew alot, the pattern is probably all you need. If you want to see how I do the hair, it's shown at the end of the post. Pin your pattern and cut out with scissors. I'm a fan of rotary cutters, but not when the curves are this tight! All cut out. Transfer the marks to the upper arm so you don't sew there. Dammit! I forgot to sew on the face before I started sewing! It's easiest to sew the eyes and mouth on before you sew the doll together. You can do it after, no worries, but it's easier when you don't have to bury the knot. Set your stitch length to 1.5 (or whatever a small stitch length is on your machine). It makes it easier to sew around the curves smoothly. Sew all the way around the doll and clip the seams. You can see the little clips on the inside seams. I clip everywhere there is an inside seam so rounded seams are smoother when you are done stuffing. I also trim really close to the outside curving seams (you can see how close I clipped the seam around the head.) Turn it right side out. I use a tube to help turning it right side out, but using a dowel or the eraser end of a pencil works fine, too. Stuff! I use some poly fill, but you can take apart an old stuffed animal and re-use the stuffing, or use pieces of quilt batting. The photos I took of stitching up the open seam were terrible! Sorry about that. Do the neatest job you can sewing up the seam. Now for the Hair Wrap about 10 wraps of Lion Brand Fun Fur (or whatever yarn you have in your stash) around you hand. The more open your hand is, the longer the strands of 'hair' you will have. Slip the yarn off your hand and use your sewing machine on a straight stitch to sew right through the middle of your yarn. Sorry about the fuzzy photo, if you look closely you can see the white stitching line that goes through the yarn to secure it. Hand stitch the hair in place along the stitching line on the yarn. This isn't some wonderfully, fantastic doll, it's supposed to be whacked! Don't worry about perfection on this one! Sometimes I trim the hair, sometimes I don't. This doll's hair was sooooo wonky and long that I trimmed it to make it look better. The Poem Tag Crumple up a piece of paper bag. Iron it flat, but not too flat. Print out the poem, rip around the edges (poem is below). Coat both the paper bag and the poem with a thin layer of rubber cement and let it dry. Then put the poem on the rubber cement. Rub the extra rubber cement off the brown paper bag. Rip close to edges of the poem, punch a hole, add some twine, and the tag is done! Click on the photo, then download and print. I took longer to take the photos and write the post than it did to make the doll. It's a pretty quick project. Honestly, I hope you don't need one! And that no one you know needs one! But just in case you do, it's a fast, fun project to make.
