Doll Hair: free pattern and tutorial-Step 1, The Base

Today I have a crochet pattern that I made for the base cap of doll wigs. On Wednesday I will provide a tutorial for making the curls. And follow up with a tutorial on how to cut the hair and latch them in. I am in the process of making a "Fancy Nancy" inspired doll for my daughter's 3rd birthday. I have made up the pattern for the doll's body and the embroidery for her face. I plan on posting that for y'all next week. Hopefully I will get to clothes and a costume or 2 as well before her birthday. (I also have a great idea for tulle that I have to get done before her Bday and post out here.) Too many things to enjoy doing, if only we didn't need sleep! (And I love sleeping too.) I made this doll about 2 years ago. As you can see her hair is still lovely and curly, despite being my little one's "darlin'." When I made her I was unsure how to attach a wig or what the best method was.

Free Party Dress Pattern for Your American Girl Doll!

I made up a pretty basic pattern to make this dress for a giveaway. The real niceness to it is in the loving details, like all the top stitching on the seams, the zig-zag collar and parallel skirt seam, and the inch wide bottom hem. I like details like that because I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist, but if you are in a hurry it's not necessary and should be easy for you to create too. As a heads up, I plan on making a dress just like it for Blythe, so be on the look out for a new free dress pattern for your little girl in the next few weeks. Here it is! This is a 3 piece pattern with a total of 6 pieces to sew together! Easy enough for a beginner and a fast fun project for an experienced seamstress. I hope you enjoy it and the tutorial I made to help you through it. Materials: 1/4 yard of material (9 inches or about 23cm) Thread to match Zig-Zag trim (at least 45 inches or 114cm) - optional Here is your pattern with a 1 inch guide to make sure your print is

Doll Hair: free pattern and tutorial-Step 3, latching on the hair

It's Friday! I am sorry, but I will not be posting a phototip here this week. I only have enough time for one tutorial. Check in next Friday for a new blog on phototips. On Monday I gave the pattern for the base cap and Tuesday I did the tutorial to make the curls. Today it is time to put together the elements of our wig. It is really only a two step process: 1. Cut the hairs. 2. Latch it in. To make the steps the simple I phographed each of the steps. I am a visual learner, so things like this help me and I hope they are helpful to you too. 1.Cut the hairs. 2. Latch the hairs into the base cap. *Remember you will have 2 "hairs" for each 1 strand of yarn used. Looking for a doll to put it on? Linked on Wow us Wednesday and these other parties I love!
