MATERIALS:
-
Cotton Jersey: (for the body) or any type of fabric that seems like the fabric of which T-shirts are made of. (white is ok, but you will need to dye the fabric, I dyed the fabric of my dolls with coffee,actually I would not recommend this, since at some point you will have to wash the thingy and the color will wash away, so if you find fabric in a suitable color for the skin,like cream or light peach better yet.)
-
Polyester Fiberfill: as needed, normally this is sold in kgs, is rather cheap, I bought 1/2kg and it was enough to stuff 5 dolls.
-
Cloth and accesories: ok, here you can get creative, you can totally skip buying fabrics for the wardrobe, look around your closet and take your oldest skirts, tshirts, pants etc, besides, using old clothes gives them a vintage vibe.
-
Wool yarn (hair): Billie's hair is babby rabbit wool is very soft, Tré and Mike's hair is a type of long plush, I still dont know what the name in english for it, so if someone can tel me the name would be very much apreciated, but to give you a hint, is the same material of which troll's hair are made of.
