Preliminary info for DOLL-A-LONG!

[mommomrebecca]

Who's in?!? We won't do it for a while, but I need to prepare a little bit of supplies for those who want to get pre-sewn body parts, inner head, and wigs made. Prices will be for a 13 inch (I call them toddler sized) doll:
pre-sewn body parts: $7.00
Pre-made inner heads: $6.00
Pre-crocheted wigs short hair: $8.00 and long hair $12.00
Then you will need needles, floss, and wool, which I also have if you like.

This is a very satisfying project, even for beginners!!! I myself will be making an exact replica of our host Pamelamama. Doesn't that sound like fun? :banana

[Susan_WW]

Oooh! Me! Me! I pm'd you ;)

OK I've decided. I'd like long curly brown hair please :)

[marnie]

count me in. i'll need everything pre-made, including the doll.

no no no. i'll do it. i just have sewing-phobia. can i do it by hand or do i need a machine?

i'll need all the trappings, too.

what do i do to dress the doll after? can you help with that as well?

[pmcgary]

I am in too. Don't know what all I would need at this point...

[cozystitches]

I'm in...:D :D Oh..on my PM, you can just ignore the 12" and do the 13", k? I didn't read this thread first...

I may also want a wig...still debating...k?

And you're gonna hand sew the clothes, right :brow ? :lol: :lol: Just kidding w/you! :D

Hugs,
tammy

[RufusBeans]

:balloon me

[marnie]

should i be telling you color choices now or later?

[mamapez]

Hmmm...I'm thinking of making Andrew a Grandpa doll. He is absolutely in love with his Grandpa, and this would be a great way for him to never have to be apart. The last time I attempted a doll, though, the head came out all wonky. :rolleyes: I know that you will help me get it perfect, though. ;)

[mommomrebecca]

Oh! We're coming out with Grandparent dolls in a few weeks, that's so funny! We are working on the head shaping right now, it's kind of tricky making them look older. I'm going to be ordering a ton of hair yarn at the end of the week and I'm getting older colors such as grey/silver. Yesterday I started a salt and pepper wig that's coming out really interesting.

O.K. anyways, if anyone would like to make a larger doll (16-18 inches) let me know and I'll figure out prices for those body parts and inner heads and wigs. You can all make your own inner heads and wigs, but that is a lot more advanced and you have to have a LOT of patience, but I'll show you how if you like. Go ahead and start listing hair and skin choices. As for clothes, you make your own, I don't like to make doll clothes, as Tammy will tell you! You can also just buy teddy bear or doll clothes anywhere. Preemie and infant clothes from the thrift store work as well.

Oh, and sewing is easy enough for beginners, I promise. :mwah

[pmcgary]

Um hello people! YOu can also KNIT clothing for the dolls!!! Hmm, maybe I should be working on designes...

Say REbecca...do you have pictures of the "parts" you are referring to so that people can "see" what they will get? That might help understand what work is going to be involved in finishing/detailing them...

I am curious as to what the pre-crochet wigs look like...I haven't a clue (not that I have tried to find out though.)

[marnie]

is the long hair like the toddler hair on your site with pigtails or like the mamma hair?

[mommomrebecca]

A pre-crocheted wig looks like a big rat's nest of loops. You have to cut the loops and style as you like. Otherwise, you get mohair yarn and crochet your own.

Marnie-
Whatever length you want for the long. You'll be cutting it to the length you want.

[pmcgary]

Thanks....sounds interesting....I need to figure out how many of these I will be making...With three kids I suppose I can't get away with less than that?

[marnie]

ohhhh. i get it. thanks!

[drea2447]

I'm definitely in also. I'll need the premade everything and any tools necessary. Needles etc.... Let me figure everything out and then I'll pm you and you can let me know how much to pay.

Alright editing to add my choices-

Toddler sized doll
Premade everything with all the fixins' (floss, needles, stuffing)
Long blonde wig- curly
Fair skin
Blue eyes

Let me know how much...

Thanks so much for doing this!!

[marnie]

we're in, for sure. I've asked several times and maya consistently points to the brown skin and black hair so i'd like to make the 13" doll in brown with black curly long hair. I will need as much of it premade as you'll make, and all the trimmings, notions, wool, etc. please choose colors for the eyes and mouth that you think will look nice on that skin tone. i don't see any dolls in that color on your site so i don't know which eye colors would look nice with it.

[hunnybumm]

I wanna join but I also have a question. Do we need a machine or can we do the sewing by hand? If we can do it by hand I am totally in!

I am leaving next Wed (Jan 12th) and will be gone for 3 weeks (Feb 2nd) so I hope I don't miss it!

Color choices:
Doll 1 - DS
Skin: Fair
Hair color: Light Blond
Hair type: Curly
Hair lenght: semi short (I am thinking just above the shoulders, whatever length that is)
Eye Color: Medium Blue

Doll 2 - Me - Bigger Doll
Skin: Fair
Hair color: Brownish Red
Hair type: Straight
Hair length: long (I am growing mine out)
Eye Color: Medium Blue

Doll 3: DH - Bigger Doll
Skin: Medium
Hair color: Brown
Hair type: straight
Hair length: short
Eye color: Hazel

As far as how the hair is styled, I am want to make it look just like my DS. Right now his hair is about 1 1/2 inches (in parts), blond and curly, so I was thinking a bit longer than an average 'boy' hair cut. Do you have some pictures we can reference? I am also interested in making one that looks like me, as long as you tell me this won't take 4 years to finish. ;) If the above descriptions aren't enough info or you need me to alter them, let me know. I don't want to make this too complicated!

Also, I am interested in making the 'Me' doll the bigger size so I am curious of the prices of those. What 'other stuff' is needed and what is an estimated price? Is this stuff I can pick up at Michael's? That's about all we have around here besides Wally World.

AND who wants to make a pattern for clothes? I so want to knit a pair of soaker pants and matching shirt for DS. Then a pair of knit jeans and a tank top for me. I am just afraid of making something that doesn't work. So if anyone has a basic idea of how many stitches, etc, I can tweak the pattern from there.

Oh, I am so excited!

ETA: Here is a pic of my sons hair, whatever you have that is close to that. ;)

ETA Added eye color!

[gorzong]

Oh! I want to do this! I've been wanting to learn how to make dolls.

I need:

Skin: Tan
Hair: straight dark brown
eyes: black

I don't have any of the tools... do we hand sew or machine sew? We have a machine.. will need Liam's help. LOL

Holli

[botannie]

Oh, I would love to join if its ok! I don't need much - probably just the wigs, heads and wool- maybe body cut outs, although I already have fabric.

Doll 1-
strait black hair, long
tan skin
brown eyes

Doll 2
long wavy/curly auburn hair
fair skin
green eyes

I'm so excited! I've been wanting to make a girly doll for so long!!!

[RufusBeans]

I think I'll make mine gender neutral so Katya can decide if it is a boy or girl.


(I always enjoyed boy dolls) snow

[indiegirl]

I'm in for three dolls. Would you take a knitting or yarn trade at all for any of the cost? Is there a payment plan?

Thanks!

[mamapez]

Oh! We're coming out with Grandparent dolls in a few weeks, that's so funny! We are working on the head shaping right now, it's kind of tricky making them look older. I'm going to be ordering a ton of hair yarn at the end of the week and I'm getting older colors such as grey/silver. Yesterday I started a salt and pepper wig that's coming out really interesting.


Okay, maybe I will leave the Grandparent one up to the expert. :LOL

[mommomrebecca]

No, Amy, you should do it! I'm just a perfectionist. Your Grandpa doll can just have a regular-aged looking head, lol! No one will probably ever notice a fraction of the things I obsess over in head shaping. :tsk

Y'all asked so many questions, I can't remember them! If you get the pre-sewn body parts, the rest is hand-sewing. If not, you have to use someone else's pattern because we don't sell ours, and will need a machine. Prices for the extra supplies will be $5-$10 from a craft store or I can send them just for their actual cost. The wool batts for stuffing are probably impossible to find at decent prices locally. I can send that too, would be less than $5 per doll, depending on if you make your own heads.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you make your own head, you should make your own wig in order for it to fit right.

All I need to know right now is who wants wigs and the details so I can get that started. That will take me the rest of this month. So edit your posts to say you definitely would like it etc...

Pricing for a large doll(16-18 inches) which is actually easier to make because you can see it better are as follows...
pre-sewn body parts: $8.00
inner head: $12.00
short wig: $12.00
long wig: $20.00 (uses a LOT of yarn and takes a few hours for experienced wigger)

Anything else? Oh, I can't really do trades since my sister does a bunch of this, but payment plans are definitely o.k! :mwah

[mommomrebecca]

Remember to post curly or straight hair and if you want me to pick the eye floss, let me know if you prefer light or dark if you care. Makes a big difference.

Also, about ethnic dolls, I do have pics and can take more of my nephew's dolls (he prefers dark skin) if you want to see. Asian too, I can show you how to make asian eyes. I have been working on an albino baby too, with purpley eyes!

Here is the wig list that I can see so far. Just edit my post to add/change yours.

drea2447: long blonde toddler curly or straight?

marnie: long black curly toddler and short straight sandy toddler

hunnybumm: blonde curly semi-short toddler and brownish red long straight big doll and short straight brown big doll

gorzong: long straight dark brown toddler

botannie: long straight black hair toddler and long curly auburn toddler

indiegirl: short straight red hair, dark blonde short curly, and blonde short straight

susan mccormack: long curly brown toddler

radish: short curly sandy toddler

[hunnybumm]

Quick question! When looking at hair color do we just use the choices listed on your site? If so then I noticed you have two different 'blond' colors and my DSs would have to be the lighter (whiter) of the two. ;)

[mommomrebecca]

Actually, that picture is outdated and I have other colors. Also, I'm placing an order soon, so just say whatever color you want and I'll make sure to get some of it. :)

[gorzong]

I'm so excited, but I have a dumb question.. if we buy all the parts from you, what part of it is left for us to actually make? I'm trying to judge what I think I can take on as a totally non-crafty, non-sewing type.

Holli

[indiegirl]

I would like

3 presewn bodies and heads, toddler sized
1 straight red hair
1 short blond (darker) curly hair
1 short blond straight hair

All with blue eyes

[mommomrebecca]

The pre-sewn body parts are just stitched fabric. You will then have to turn them inside out, stuff them all with rolled up pieces of wool batting, hand sew them together, create a nose if you want to, cover the head, embroider eyes and mouth, sew it onto body, stitch wig onto head, cut loops, style and cut hair, make or buy clothes for it. You could omit facial features, which is what a traditional Waldorf doll looks like. It will take a lot longer than you think, but really simple. If you make your own head and wig it will add many, many hours, lol! (I don't want to discourage you, though!)

[hunnybumm]

I am going to buy all pieces needed to make the 1 big doll and 1 small doll, plus all the extra stuff needed to make the doll.

I edited my original post to show a pic of my sons hair so you can decided what hair to get for his doll. I want the length to be a little longer than in the pic since I am letting his grow out as well. ;)

Also when is payment needed? This is going to end up being my Birthday present to myself. ;)

[mommomrebecca]

I'll make up invoices for everything when I ship, so it won't be until February. Simpler for me to do it once! Anyone can join in in the meantime, just edit my post above with the wig list.

[botannie]

Rebecca - I would love it if you could do Asian eyes with lashes on the black haired doll! I can never seem to get it right. Do you have any pics of what it would look like?

Also, if anyone is wondering about presewn bodies - I say go for it. Especially if you are getting a premade head. You want them to fit right. It seems like there won't be much to do, but there really is - Rebecca is just doing all the hard, no fun parts for us (well, those are just the hard no fun parts in my opinion, because I suck at them , lol)

[mommomrebecca]

Rebecca - I would love it if you could do Asian eyes with lashes on the black haired doll! I can never seem to get it right. Do you have any pics of what it would look like?

I can take pics next time I go over to my sister's house, we have 2 or 3 Asian dolls in her sewing room. Annie, you do know that you have to embroider your own eyes, right? That's where you really make the doll your own and the most satisfying part of making the doll! I'll hold your hand through , it'll turn out great!

[botannie]

Annie, you do know that you have to embroider your own eyes, right? That's where you really make the doll your own and the most satisfying part of making the doll!

Oh yeah...I don't know what I was thinking. Sorry - I still have sleep deprived new mom brain, lol. I definitley need to see pics and have my hand held!!! :nut

[Susan_WW]

I finally made my decision! I edited my original post :)

[marnie]

rebecca, is it too late for me to add another doll? i'd like to ADD a sandy haired, short haired tan small doll to my existing order. again, i'll need everything that goes with it. pale blue eyes, please.

[mommomrebecca]

rebecca, is it too late for me to add another doll? i'd like to ADD a sandy haired, short haired tan small doll to my existing order. again, i'll need everything that goes with it. pale blue eyes, please.

Just edit my post that has the wig list! I haven't started them yet, so no, it's not too late!

[marnie]

i can't edit your post...

[mommomrebecca]

Why not? It doesn't let you? Fooey, well I'll edit it!

Curly or straight?

[marnie]

only the author or the moderator of this specific forum can edit a post.

straight please :)

[pmcgary]

I just realized I haven't placed my order...Dang too many descions to make.....Must make time to figure this out... I think I will let my kids look at the site first.

[RufusBeans]

I haven't place my order yet either.

I want:
straight short hair kinda sandy/redish
dark blue eyes
fair or tan skin (will fair get to dirty too soon?)

[mamapez]

I have a lot on my plate right now, I think I will bow out. However, I am saving my Paypal to have the expert make ds a whole set. ;)

[mommomrebecca]

I haven't place my order yet either.

No, it won't get dirty too soon. They are definitely washable as well. Eleanor has one which is absolutely stark white and she's been throwing it on the floor for over a year and I've never washed it, it's still stark white. And I have 3 dogs and poor housecleaning skills. :superb

[pamelamama]

:teary wahhh!!! I have no time to do this and it sounds like SO MUCH FUN!!!


*sigh*

:lurk:

[radish]

i'm in!

hair - straight, short, curly, sandy
eyes - blue
skin - tan

[mommomrebecca]

i'm in!

hair - straight, short, curly, sandy

LOL, Regina! How do I make straight and curly? By the way, here is a pic of that little butterfly baby I made with your lovely boucle

http://whereswaldorf.com/new/bfly.jpg

[radish]

OMG she is adorable!! I totally thought, "hair!" when I saw that yarn.

LOL! I want it ALL! :) But if I must pick, curly.

[hunnybumm]

I told my DH that I wanted to get the supplies for my Bday present. And he wants me to make one that looks like him too! So I am going to edit my post to add one with his description. ;)

[mommomrebecca]

Here is my list. Please check and make sure it's right. I've started working on the wigs, will give an update when I have an update to give! If anyone else wants to join in, let me know right away.




drea2447: long blonde toddler straight

marnie: long black curly toddler and short straight sandy toddler

hunnybumm: blonde curly semi-short toddler and brownish red long straight big doll and short straight brown big doll

gorzong: long straight dark brown toddler

botannie: long straight black hair toddler and long curly auburn toddler

indiegirl: short straight red hair, dark blonde short curly, and blonde short straight

[RufusBeans]

dark blue eyes
fair skin (will fair get to dirty too soon?)

here is mine. you must have missed my post? can I still do it?

[mommomrebecca]

Oops, got it! Sandy reddish might be hard, were you thinking of a golden maybe? I'm going to post some new pics of my yarn here when I find my charger again, so you can pick.

[pmcgary]

Man can I still get in too? I floated the doll thing by my mother who suggested I not get the stuff for three dolls in case I hate it.... Then I wouldn't finish them and I would just have doll parts.

I will probably make it for my three year old...Do you think the larger or smaller size doll?

[drea2447]

I'd like straight please. Thanks.

[mommomrebecca]

Haha, she's so right. I can get you more parts if you love it, lol!

Eleanor is almost 2 1/2 and she likes the bigger size because it can wear newborn dipes and preemie clothes and Levi's old wool. Some kids like tiny things more, though.

[marnie]

i can't wait!

[RufusBeans]

yeah golden would be good..

[gorzong]

Did I ever say I needed all the parts? I think I am way behind here.

Holli

[mommomrebecca]

Yes, you said that! I'm just doing wigs now, then I'll verify who wants the rest of the parts.

[pmcgary]

Okay I am going to get the stuff to do one large doll....fair skin, um...hair is blonde and straight...I am not sure whether I need long/short....

Here's a picture of the "mommy to be"
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/mama2babybiggirl/DSCF0409.jpg
This was less than 2 weeks ago...Hair in the back is just below her shoulder (with a bit of wave.)

I will need all the doll parts.....I think I can get the wool and I have the needles/embroidery thread. (Is the wool for stuffing hard to find?)

[mommomrebecca]

O.K., Over the next week or two I'll be pm ing everyone as I'm ready to ship. Here is my skin list, let me know if anything is wrong or if I missed anyone, I don't have my wig list down here right now. All are for 12 inch doll unless stated otherwise.

drea2447: fair
marnie: dark brown and tan
hunnybumm: fair, 16" fair and 16" tan
gorzong: tan
botannie: tan and fair
indiegirl: fair, fair and fair
rufusbeans: fair
susan: fair
radish: tan
pmcgary: 16" fair

[Susan_WW]

Hi Rebecca,

I'd like fair skin please :)

[botannie]

Any updates? :brow :)

Rebecca, I think I read somewhere that Levi was going back into the hospital??? If so, I hope he is okay and my thoughts are with you.

Aloha

[mommomrebecca]

Thanks Annie,
He was in the hospital for four days, but is home and better now. I have been sidetracked with Patti's tea set pattern! But I'm mostly done with the wigs and done with all the body parts and have been pm'ing people all morning. Did you want all the parts and supplies? Let me know. I'm waiting for a 40% off sale this Saturday to get the needles and then I'll ship Monday probably. Except for hunnybum's, which aren't done yet. :bigups: Thank you everyone for being so patient! I really thought business would be super slow after the holidays and that I could whip this stuff up in a week! I've never been very good with time management. And Patti's pattern is just so addictive...

[marnie]

hey rebecca! i didn't know he was in the hospital! i'm sorry to hear that, but glad he's on the mend!!

[botannie]

Phew! Glad he's home and better. Poor little guy.

I think I just need a head, wig and body. (HAHA isn't that the truth, lol) Are you selling wool stuffing too? If so, I could use some of it also. But don't worry if you don't have it -- its no problem for me to order it.

Thank you SO much for doing this!! You rock :)

aloha mama,
Annie

[mommomrebecca]

Good morning!!
I need addresses and don't want to send a bunch more pm's!! Please send them to me and I will send you PP invoices after I find out shipping costs. Let's see, I already have radish's address, and Marnie--if it's your p.o. box I have that. The one's that will not be going out for a couple more days are hunnybumm, drea2447, and botannie, but it will be tomorrow or the next. So pm me your addresses!! :bigups:

[marnie]

PO box is perfect. YAY!!!

[mommomrebecca]

Just to clarify, I need your e-mail address to send invoice and home/shipping address to ship! :bigups: I found your address Jesse. Still need pmcgary, gorzong, drea2447, botannie, hunnybumm, susan.

[mommomrebecca]

Still need pmcgary, gorzong, and drea2447!! Anyone know their e-mails?

Pmcgary, do you want the wool batting? You will need 1 pound, I already have it packed up if you want it.

[marnie]

got the doll stuff today. GORGEOUS.

all along my husband has been rolling his eyes at me... "you're going to MAKE a doll?" followed with "she HAS a doll already..."

well, he saw the long black curly wig and i kid you not, hopped up and down and said "ooh oooh make it now!!"

so are you going to have a formal step by step or should we just figure it out?

in the meantime, could you tell me the finished measurements of the 12" doll so i can start knitting some clothes?

[RufusBeans]

got mine yesterday too

i need to stuff in my closet until we start or I'll go crazy from anticipation!!!! :balloon

[mommomrebecca]

Well, I thought we should wait until everyone gets their supplies?? Two more are shipping today, and hunnybumm's probably Saturday. So next week, maybe wednesday? For now, try and decide if you want a nose or not. :superb

[Susan_WW]

Got mine yesterday too and I can't wait to get started!!! (although I have to admit I am a little intimidated by all those body parts LOL)

[marnie]

sounds great. i have to wait until the 30th anyway, because I promised Martha i'd wait for her to get her so we can do them together.

[pamelamama]

:cheer

[radish]

got our package and cant wai - i am obsessed with dolls now :)

[botannie]

same with me radish. I can't wait to get my package!!! :banana


If nobody minds, I think I'll start mine as soon as I get the box, probably late next week. We have guests coming for April, and I don't think I coukd wait all the way to May. I think I would die, lol.

Alohas :butterfly

[pmcgary]

I am out of town and need to call my Dh to see if mine arrived!

[mommomrebecca]

[indiegirl]

Yay! I'm excited! Got my stuff!

Jesse

[pmcgary]

I called my Dh last night hoping my package had arrived...no such luck there.....of course I am not going to be home until tomorrow anyway....I did get a package from Danzzaroni though........

[marnie]

any way i could get measurements on a finished 12" doll so i can get a head start on clothing?

pretty please?

[mommomrebecca]

Pam,
I sent yours parcel post because priority was going to be $12, so it will still be a few days probably snow

[pmcgary]

Well that is good to know...And might as well save the money for priority since I am not at home anyway! Parcel post is strange...sometimes it is really slow and sometimes really fas ---just depends on how full the postal trucks are I guess.

[gorzong]

Woo! I got my supplies today and I'm so intimidated! I can't believe you made all those parts for us! Thank YOU!!

Be gentle with us "uncrafty with things that are not paper" types. ;) I can make handmade books and journals, but I seem to fall apart when I deal with fabric!

Wah! The whip smilie doesn't work anymore! How about this:
You better make your dolly right, or else! :nono

[pmcgary]

I just got back to town about an hour and a half ago....Package sitting on my front step (came today - dh has been checking for me)

I haven't opened anything...but it looks great...The wig looks like my dd's hair the way it is ---overwhelming...but I am sure I will get it figured out..

[mommomrebecca]

The hair isn't so overwhelming once the loops are cut, just don't go cutting it quite yet! :butterfly

[radish]

Hey rebecca, what yarn did you use for carrot-girl? i think i want crazy funky hair for my doll, will that work?

[mommomrebecca]

That was handpaintedyarn olive. Yes! You can use any yarn you want. I love alpaca boucle too. But you can use anything! Do you crochet?

[pmcgary]

The hair isn't so overwhelming once the loops are cut, just don't go cutting it quite yet! :butterfly
I plan on leaving it long....As a goal for DD - who recently got the urge to give herself a trim. (This was during my early plague and I thought she was asleep too..she apparently woke before me) She has NO Bangs...she didn't have them before - and she took a big chunk out of the side too....
I wouldn't want any doll having her hair right now.

Of course I am seriously thinking of making this doll for ME!

[botannie]

Oh yeah, oh yeah :dance I got my dolly parts today! Was I the last one waiting? When are we starting? I am so excited. :balloon :superb :bigups:

[gorzong]

:wave

Rebecca, when do we get to start? :)

Holli

[mommomrebecca]

We'll start tomorrow! A couple people don't have their supplies, but they can catch up :bigups: We'll do the head tomorrow!! If you don't have push pins, get them. The kind with the ball on the end.

[pmcgary]

Man I have to go buy pins.....

What other supplies might I need to get while out and about? What needles do you recommend? Just regular hand sewing needles?

[botannie]

...I think you'll need a 5 inch doll needle also. Am I right?

[mommomrebecca]

You'll need a 5 inch doll needle, a 3 inch doll needle and a regular needle. :bigups: They might be called embroidery needles, and they will be between 5 and 5 1/2, etc...

[pmcgary]

I should be able to manage that....Although the bigger shopping challenge is going to be getting stuff for Easter with a 3 and 5 year old in tow...

[gorzong]

Yay! So excited.. Rebecca, you included the right needles with my "supplies for dummies", right? LOL I saw some in there...
