Cloth doll making resources
Hello dollies! Here finally are all the resources that I personally use to make the lovely cloth dolls. For fabric I do encourage you to re-use old bedding, pillow cases or anything that looks like it could be a doll. I even use my friend's old cashmere jumpers (sweaters if you are from the U.S) So get creative and re-use and epicycle as much as you can. For stuffing you can re-use pillow stuffing, cushion stuffing or old duvet stuffing. Otherwise here below are some places to buy new. These links I believe are eBay in the UK. If you are outside the UK let me know if they work?
