Hey! You might think I dropped from the surface of the earth lol! I’ve been busy sewing, sewing, sewing like crazy
Making necktie bags, and custom orders. (I’ll post them later) and making dolls…
A nice lady asked for 3 dolls, one for each of her children. And one of her kids is a boy. You know me, can’t resist a Retromama pattern.
And timely she posted for sale a boy doll. His name’s Hans and he’s just awesome! So sweet looking! What a great excuse to yet buy another of her patterns lol!
I named mine Henri, he’s made from jeans (reminder to self: never use this stuff for Henri ever again, way too thick!) 2 men’s shirts, and t-shirts. I like using t-shirts instead of felt, first because it’s way cheaper, second because it makes me use my scarves remnants so less waste, and third it is really soft for kids!
I omitted the suspenders since the jeans was already thick and the pockets are functional! He was more time consuming than the girlies since he’s more detailed. But love the end product!
Here’s his 2 sisters…
Made from capri pants, and fabric remnant,t-shirts, beige fabric is from a linen coat.
Made from a skirt, fabric remnants and t-shirts
Une gentille dame m’a demandé de lui coudre 3 poupées, une pour chacun de ses enfants! alors voilà, un essai d’un nouveau patron pour le garçon
Il est tellement mignon quoique plus long à coudre que ses soeurs, il a tellement de détails! Les poches sont fonctionnelles
IL est fait de jeans, 2 chemises pour homme, lin beige et t-shirts. Très satisfaite du résultat final!













They are perfect! Josee, your three dolls are beautiful! My favourite one is Henri, I can see my son playing with him, he’s jeans are so cute! You are very talented!!! I’m sure the lady must have been excited when she saw them!
Yes, she was! Thanks ingrid for the great comment!!
Very nice, and they remind me of Raggedy Ann and Andy Dolls. Are they easy to make, and how long does it takes? Thanks in advance. Mtetar
They are not difficult, but i don’t recommand it to a beginner sewist. They are quite time consuming though… The boy is taking like 2h30 to 3 hours to sew the girls are a bit quicker… Less details. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much it does help. Have a Blessed Weekend. Mtetar
These are unbelievable! So beautiful and detailed! And the pics are great, too!
