How I sew hair onto cloth dolls:
Originally posted in response to LaLa's Waldorf doll instructions...
I've sewn yarn hair onto premade cotton dolls by laying each length across the top of the head (Front to back) and stitching it down. I just keep going back and forth, sewing as I add lay each strand down. I keep it shorter in front if doing bangs and try to make sure it's long enough in back. I learned to make the hair thicker by laying down a row or two across the back of the head, which are then covered by the top-of-head hair.
Do any of you by any chance know how to make a birth and breastfeeding doll? LLL used to sell a Waldorf style one, but she's been discontinued. It may be heresy, but I don't like the Mariana doll's face, one of those personal taste issues I guess, but I would like for DD to have a doll that really gives birth (since Barbie is an automatic c-section) and can nurse the baby or toddler. Thank-you
