Who Is This For?

If you are a Mom or Grandmother who wants to make a beautiful and all natural doll for your little ones, as a special gift or keepsake, but don’t have a lot of time to figure it out on your own, or worse, waste valuable materials in the process. Let me guide you step-by-step in the creation of this huggable and tender baby doll.

Or, if you are a dollmaker who wants to learn more techniques in regard to doll construction, baby dolls will teach you a lot about movement, weight, sculpting proportions, sewing more nuanced body parts, etc.

Finish your doll in weeks, not months of trial and error.

You’re New Here?

Hi! My name is Fabiola and I’ve taught over 460 students worldwide how to make dolls. I’ve been exploring the intimate world of dollmaking for 17 years and discovered that one of my greatest pleasures comes from sharing my expertise with you.

I love seeing new hands learn dollmaking, the realization that these are ancient skills that your heart craves, and that your imagination will come alive as you work on the doll.

Baby dolls have a special energy as they awaken a very nurturing sensitivity in us, and I’ve seen countless students fall immediately in love with their doll.

You will be gently supported in this journey, no need to do it all alone.

This is not just a class, but a welcoming environment in which you can learn and discover your own creative flavour. Ask questions as you design and fall in love with dollmaking.

At the end of the class you will have a soft, tender, lifelike baby doll that will nestle in your arms and that your little ones can love on forever.

My Promise: Complete the class and if you don’t feel confident in your finished doll or your new skills, you can always reach out. I’ll provide additional support or discuss with you further areas to focus on.

How We Work Together

The classes will start being released slowly throughout the two weeks and each class has several lessons. This way you can work at a manageable rhythm, with plenty of time in between to catch up if your schedule throws you a hard ball.

Virtual Meetings and Group Support
On the weekend of June 20th-21st and 27th-28th I will provide you with scheduled zoom meetings so I can review your week’s progress. Attending the meetings is not obligatory but it will be a fun way to check out how you are doing and for you to hear feedback given to your fellow students.

You will be added to a private group on Facebook where you can post questions as they arise in your making and I will be answering daily questions regarding our lessons there.

Once the class ends I will continue giving you support via the Facebook group until you finish your doll. No problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

What doll are we making?

This baby is 14”/15” tall (with her legs stretched out, but sitting she is 10” tall from top of the head to her bum); the baby is weighted in her head and torso, and has needle-felted face, baby body proportions, ears, curved limbs with a lot of movement, including a head that tilts and moves slightly side to side, back and front (there is no joint in the head). The hair is made by crocheting a cap with dollmaking mohair and then sewing it to the head. The doll is stuffed with wool, weighted with glass beads and is assembled by hand.

How will the class be imparted?

You will receive a PDF template for the pattern pieces and clothing items. The class is imparted entirely through videos, which come with lots of annotations; each video has a thorough description of the process being taught + tips and areas to pay most attention to, written on each page devoted to the class.

Is this class suitable for dollmaking beginners?

This class has been taken by many first time dollmakers (who knew how to sew, or embroider, etc) and they’ve successfully created very beautiful and well made dolls. If you pay close attention and follow my directions you’ll do very well.

If you have made dolls before, cloth dolls or simpler Waldorf-inspired dolls, then this is a class quite suitable for you. If you don’t have any sewing/crafting experience, perhaps it is best to try your hand with one of my doll patterns. You can find them over here>>>.

What tools and materials are necessary to create the doll?

You will be given an exact list of materials once you purchase your class spot. However, these are all the tools and materials you will need:

Tools: sewing machine [nothing fancy, all we need is a sturdy straight stitch] and Universal sewing needles, large gauge metal knitting needle, hemostats or forceps [not strictly required but they come in very handy], felting needles in different gauges, a handle to hold several felting needles at once, pins, scissors, disappearing fabric marker, stitch markers, crochet hook, hand sewing needles, embroidery needles, long doll making needles, measuring tape, metal sewing gauge [the one with the plastic slider at top], wool wand or other stuffing implement [wooden dowel, knitting needle, etc],

Materials: cotton doll skin [interlock or jersey, it is up to you], wool batting, dollmaking glass beads to add weight, stockinette or inner gauze, craft thread, red beeswax block or crayon, sewing thread that matches the chosen skin tone, doll making mohair yarn, sewing thread that matches the hair colour, embroidery thread in chosen eye colour. You can find a post where I discuss many of the materials used in this class over here>>>.

Clothes: I will show you how to make a simple cross-over top and comfy pants using knit fabric, as well as a baby diaper. When you finish your doll and he/she is completely dressed you will receive a free PDF with the knitting pattern to make the Baby Fox hat.

Is this baby doll the same as your Baby Fig doll pattern?

No. While both dolls are babies, and their patterns have some similarities due to this, the pattern we use in this class is a different pattern.

How many hours do I need to devote to the class per week?

You will need to be efficient and invested in the creation of your baby doll. I say you will need in total 30 hours to complete the doll (not including clothing). Of course, when you have uninterrupted pockets of time you tend to work more harmoniously, so it is up to you how you schedule your actual working time.

Can I sell dolls made from this class?

No. This is an exclusive design for personal use.

What happens when the class is over?

You will have access to your class for ONE year. You won’t lose immediate access to the website where the class is housed, nor to the videos or Facebook group where we interacted while the class was being imparted.

After one year all this access and collateral will go away but I hope by then you have managed to re-watch your class and made a couple of dolls.

Restrictions

You can make as many dolls as you wish, using the patterns, but you do not have permission to sell any doll using the templates provided, or any dolls made with alterations or modifications to the doll pattern.

You are not allowed to share the templates or reproduce them in any way.

Access to the class is given to you only. You are not allowed to share the material or provide special passwords or access to somebody else in your name.

You will be granted access to a private area of my website where the class will take place, and if more than one person logs in to the website using your password, you will forfeit your class payment and will lose access to the class. Same for the Facebook group and private virtual classroom.

I am providing a warm, beautiful, safe and comfortable environment for you to learn doll making. I hope you take this opportunity with the love and care a baby requires and the excitement of embarking on a new learning journey.

I have taken great care and many hours to create all this material for you.

I have done this at the request of so many of you, who expressed frustration at being unable to take my in-person workshops, due to the distance and/or cost of travel.

I know that leaving your family and pets, traveling costs, accommodations and the expense of taking an in-person doll workshop, makes this magical experience unattainable for many people.

My way of repairing this flaw is to provide you with an online class, so I can further your doll making journey with a bit more ease and at less expense to you, all from the comfort of your own home, working at your own pace and time, surrounded by others on the same journey.

I am beyond excited to welcome you into my doll making studio, to show you step-by-step how to create this beautiful baby, to talk to all of you, hear your concerns, questions and chit-chat, and to provide the environment in which your baby doll dreams can become a reality.

Thank you for taking the time to read this through. If something is unclear, or you need more info, please get in touch with me.

Let’s make a baby doll together!
