maker of dolls

[thedollymaker]

A few months ago I found myself watching a video on youtube where, Scary Makers took a Labubu and customised it to be like Freddy Kruger. Well, I was sold! Bought myself a fake one from Shien and impatiently waited.

Then, I had to decide what to do with it. I have a soft spot for zombies and so, it was then named - Lazombu!

I set about cutting it up, adding some bones (thank you skeleton Bartholomew), some blood (uhu glue & red acrylic paint) and messing up the clean and tidy fur. The eyes were the bit that got me though... Took me a couple of attempts to decide then finally this week - finished! Just in time for Halloween!!!!

TA-DA!!!

These pictures are, I think its fair to say... A little on the terrible side. However, this is another thing I've been doing with my time.

I'm still only learning but I really love embroidery, its a nice quiet sound with the bonus that unlocking all these new stitches will help with the dolls too. 1

hi I don't know if youres still active, but i want to ask about your dolls if oyu dont mind. like i know its been a while, but i saw your old pictures. how do you mark out the details like for the hair? do you just eyeball it? also how do you sew the edges? it doesnt look like blanket stitch to me but the pictures are too small for me to see. thank you for reading, good day.

Woah! Don't log in for ages and I'm honoured with all this love!!!

With all the things that I decide to turn into a doll I have to sketch it out first so I kinda have an idea of what I'm doing, but when I sew the details onto anything that I make, it's all eyeballing it... Sometimes I get really lucky and it works out first time, but more often than not I'm unpicking stitches, deciding I hate something and trying again - somethings have gotten me so frustrated that I have to walk away from it because I get so angry with myself over it. Also, sometimes what works in a sketch doesn't work in the real thing.

I recently decided to make a little skeleton and wanted to have it holding an anatomically correct heart with little bits of red thread coming off it going to the body. However, when I tried to cut it out, I couldn't make it small enough AND get the details on it, so I had to change it and turn it into a little broken heart on skelly's ribcage instead.

(also the love heart cheeks didn't work out for similar reasons, mainly my cutting abilities lol) As for the stitch I use, it's my own variation of the stitch you thought it wasn't - blanket stitch which is traditionally what people use to sew felt together but I just felt that it left too many gaps where the filling?? It's not food! stuffing could come out, so I modified it and put the stitches basically on top of each other so it left no gaps. Now, I ain't gonna lie it does take a while and the way I hold it leaves my right index finger (I'm left handed) callous, sore and I've quite often stitched my skin on it too because I'm just that clever but it's definitely the most effective way for me to close everything up.

Again, thank you so much for this ask and if there is anything else I can do to help you or anyone else with sewing I'm always happy to answer ❤

Oooh, I have been curious about how you did it. Like I still have the doll you gave me ages ago the edges looks super neat 🤩🤩 How do you do that without the threads crossing? 👀

[thedollymaker]

I swear to god the honest to god crush I have on you is ridiculous! "OMG SHE'S INTERACTING WITH ME VRVRVOWXKWXELFLEL!" I forgot you had Jeff too hahahaha!

[thedollymaker]

I wasn't going to post anything cause I'm pretty sure that most people that follow me are probably out in the real world doing real world things but I still sew! I still make things - we have now got into embroidery, knitting and trying crocheting too! I really want to make a Frankenstein's monster - every good nerd knows the DOCTOR was called Frankenstein, not the monster! Since I drew this though I realised I messed up - the paper is too thick for my to make my templates off, so I had to start again and it was suggested to me to make him in different shades of grey and black to keep him like he was from Universal Monsters black and white films, which is a GENIUS idea and why you can tell it didn't come from me

When I get around to re-drawing him and making him I'll post my little Frankie but I am currently distracted knitting a big rectangle to fit the windowsill that my kitkats sit on in the livingroom to sunbathe. I have decided that they need comfort and the don't like cushions cause cat logic.

Hi hello! I was a follower from waaaay back (think a little over a decade ago) and remember seeing your little Voltage character dollies. I've made a few of my own and was in the process of making V from Mystic Messenger rn when I remembered that I never told you how much your cute little dolls not only brighten my day, but inspired me to make my own. All the ones I've ever made had always been gifts for friends or my boyfriend. In case you needed a little drop of sunshine today, I hoped you can smile when you read this. Have a good day! ♡

Wow... I'm surprised to still get any kind of messages her never mind such a lovely one! Though I legit feel even older now - TEN YEARS?! Dear lord lol

Gosh, thank you so much for this. It really is a drop of sunshine for me and I'm deeply touched that you not only got in touch but I'm also pleased that my little dolls made you want to create something too and I would very much LOVE to see what you made if you're comfortable showing me.

Thank you again for taking the time to send me this message, really it means the world to me ❤
