About the final project for: Fabric Dolls: Design and Content Creation

Fabric Dolls: Design and Content Creation

“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for accompanying me. I hope that my lessons and advice will help you when creating your own cloth dolls. Do not forget that each project is unique and that what we saw in this course is a base that you can use with your own style. I share the steps you must follow to carry out and share your project: Search for inspiration Gather things that inspire you and that serve as a reference, both for the realization of your doll and for the photographs.

Make the sketch Draw a sketch of what you want your doll to look like. Also choose the materials you will use and their colors.
Pattern making Transfer the sketch to the pattern of your doll on cardboard. Then, transfer the pattern to the fabric to cut it out.
Join and sew Sew the limbs and join them to the body of the doll and then close it with the help of the sewing machine.
Fill and close Flip it over and fill it up. Then, close it with a blind stitch.
Add clothes and other final details Next, make your doll's clothes. Also put her hair and embroider her face following my advice.
Do the photoshoot and create a story Finally, organize a photo session and write a story that will help you endow your doll with a soul.
Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you could show me an image of each phase and add a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I also want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, both sharing your progress and asking questions or giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! I will try to spend as much time as possible on the forum, but please be patient because there will be times when I have professional commitments and it will take me a while to respond. See you in the forum!”

Founder of Lele Lerele

Elena Sánchez is an industrial designer by training and founder of Lele Lerele, a small brand that designs and sells handmade stuffed animals and dolls. To her, transforming a sketch or a piece of cloth into a little character with a smiley face is like magic. More than a decade ago, she decided to open an online store and, little by little, it became her full-time job.

From her first project to her latest creation, she has become an expert in sewing dolls and stuffed animals, and on top of running her own brand she has mastered photography, communication, storytelling, and planning in the process.
