"In this fun and easy class you will learn how to sew and age your own monster rag dolls using a mix of new and recycled fabrics and buttons. I encourage using second hand and vintage pieces along with new because old bits add a unique charm.

These quirky dolls are made from free from cutting and assembly and it is in this way of sewing that each doll becomes one-of-a-kind, with a distinct personality! I will guide you through the fun step-by-step process of creating your own monster doll. From fabric combination, stuffing, "hairstyling “basic staining,” and aging (optional).

STUDENTS SHOULD BRING:

Sewing machine Required. (Must have full understanding of how to operate your machine)
Needles: Hand sewing needles and embroidery needles, extra sewing machine needle
Fabric scissors
Sewing thread: black is required, but add your fave colors as well to complement your fabrics
Fabric for doll bodies. I have found that cotton fabrics work best for staining. Bring a mix of colors and patterns. Stripes and polka dots always add a punch!
Doll face fabric: any unbleached linen or linen blend fabric is ideal
Assorted laces and ribbons
Assorted buttons, mixed match is better!
Stuffed animal safety eyes and noses if you wish
Embroidery floss: I recommend black, pink and pale blue for usual doll face details, but also bring a variety of colors you love or that match your fabrics. These will be used for sewing details on the dolls and for the hair
Polyfil: A 12-ounce bag will be more than plenty
Stuffing tool: A knitting needle works well. I will sometimes use long paintbrushes or pencils.

TEACHER WILL PROVIDE

Stain to dye the dolls

Tip: Have fun picking out your fabrics and trims. This includes colors and textures. There are no set "matching" rules. Just bring what you love and you will see that by pairing unexpected combinations and textures, your works will pop!
