Sew, stuff, and repeat
I am working on a new design for a troll. I picture a fat, humpbacked little dude. I'm pretty new to designing so this is going to take me a while, LOL. Here's what I've got so far ...
The first body was 2 pieces and it didn't give me a good fat tummy so I did a four piece pattern instead. Now it's too short but nice and fat. The leg is still too skinny too - even though I made it fatter than the first one. I think the leg needs to be fatter and shorter. What do you think? I want the arm to be totally exaggerated so I think it will be okay. I have the head drawn up but I haven't sewn it yet - I want to get the body right first. I wish there was an easier way to do this but I guess it just takes practice.
wohoo can't wait to see what you come up with...love ya...you CAN DO IT

Oh I think he is coming out fine.
Yes I know how frustrating it is when you think looking at the drawing that it will be ok and when you stitch it all up it looks all completely different LOL!
His legs look fine to me unless you wanted it more fat? You see I don't know what picture you have in your mind's eye. So just go as it speaks to you and you will be fine. I know when he is done he is going to be wonderful.
Posted by: shashi at September 20, 2006 2:57 AMOh My....you go girl. He is looking good. I have designed a few dolls of my own....I found it as hard and painful as giving birth to my human children.
Can't wait to see him or her finished.
Love & Hugs

I can't offer HELPFUL input on this 'cause we all KNOW I don't sew well enough. But I CAN tell you that you're doing a great job, and he's going to be a cutie! Look forward to seeing him finished!
