Busy Hands.
It’s always fun to see the joy in my students faces when the finally hold their dolls in their hands. After three days of learning handsewing, threading needles, cutting our body parts, meddle felting chins and cheeks, stuffing with wool (and a method), attaching limbs, embroidering eyes and mouths, finally it’s a wee soul. Through hours of listening and watching me, chatting about the wildest topics, new connections are made and oodles of laughs shared.
Baskets and Bushels.
After spending the weekend processing bushels of tomatoes and still having a bushel of red peppers to do, I’m starting new colour wands in 24 micron colours. So now the studio is full of baskets of wool. Let’s hope I get through this without becoming a basket case…. Okay, bad joke….
Production Decisions.
In order to keep my doll clothes fairly priced, I continuously work on my production flow. Yet some steps just need to remain. I could sew the waist elastic on the serger, it would save at least 10 minutes per pair. But it would make adjusting or exchanging the elastic impossible in the future. I could also knot the elastic, but I choose to pin and sew it to eliminate a hard bump on the doll.
