Meet Mānuka, a truly magical doll, looking to share adventures with a special child.
Mānuka is a natural cloth doll who stands approximately 15" tall, with moveable limbs.
Mānuka's eyes are the most detailed in the collection, and her hair is inspired by my great grandma Mabel who used to always wear her hair this way.
Classic Cloth Dolls are named after our beloved native New Zealand trees, all of which grow in the surrounds of the T+T studio.
Clothing is sold separately.
There is also a bundle of all 5 Classic Cloth Dolls here for the best value.
You will receive a clear, detailed tutorial including step-by-step photos. No previous doll making, crochet or embroidery experience required!
Skill Level: Classic Cloth Dolls are suitable for someone who has used a sewing machine before and can accurately sew around tight corners. Embroidery experience is not required and is fully explained.
Classic Cloth Dolls are not a whip-it-up-in-an-evening project, rather there are lots of elements which can be done in a spare fifteen minutes here and there - so they do come together nicely.
Make old things new again! Twig & Tale patterns pair wonderfully with upcycled fabrics. Classic Cloth Dolls and their clothing uses very little fabric so look to gorgeous vintage garments and trims and precious fabric scraps for inspiration.
Supplies
50-75g ball for hair
DK boucle is ideal, giving good scalp coverage and comes together into a plait/braid without too much volume. (Acrylic yarn will go fuzzy so is not recommended)
Choose a colour similar to hair for attaching hair to head
Choose a colour similar to the skin for attaching limbs to body
I like to use clean, carded wool, but you could use other forms of stuffing
You can choose whichever colours you have on hand, however, we used:
Base Iris Color - DMC 334
Lowlight Iris Colour - DMC 322
Highlight Iris Colour - DMC 3325
Pupils & Lashes - DMC 301 Black
Eye highlight -DMC White
Under Eye Detail - DMC 739
Nose - DMC 225
Pink Lips - DMC 223
Eyebrows - choose a similar color to hair
24” of 44” wide fabric (60cm of 115cm wide fabric) and a spool of co-ordinating thread. This will be enough for two dolls but you will need this amount in order to make one. You can use any skin coloured broadcloth, calico, linen or other tightly woven plain cotton material for the body
- Water erasable marker
- Doll needles - approx 3 ½ inch (9 cm), and 7 inch (18 cm)
- Small scraps of fusible interfacing to strengthen where the limbs are jointed.
- Cardboard or board measuring approx
- 17 x 11 ½ inches (45 x 30 cm). This is used for wrapping yarn around to make hair - it needs to be quite firm so it won’t bend
- Optional: Haemostats - for turning little things out and placing little bits of stuffing.
- Optional: 4 plastic safety joints, depending on the jointing method you choose to use.
