Ugly Dolls!

We went to Oregon recently for my 10 year high school reunion.  10 years.  Wow.  I decided to make some ugly dolls with the help of my mom.  I made two of them...Titi and Paprika.  (Kyle named them both- Titi actually means penis in Tagolog, just so ya know.  Paprika came from out of nowhere, but I like it.)

Of course, I didn't take step-by-step pictures.  I'm the worst with that!  But really, you just cut out two pieces of fabric and go from there.  

The beginning of Titi

 Before sewing the two pieces together, I sewed on the eyes (fabric and buttons), mouth (rick rack), and belly button (button).  I left two holes open in order to put the stuffing in, and then sewed those holes shut with a needle and thread.  

Dang ugly...but kind of fun, right?

With Paprika, I cut the fabric, sewed on the button eyes, nose, ribbon mouth, red hair, the vest with buttons, and lace skirt.  I then made the arms and legs.  When sewing the pieces together, I put the arms and legs inside so that when you turn it right-side out they stick out.  The blue hair I sewed on last.

 Best Friends!  :)  Paprika is definitely my favorite!  Titi is just crazy, scary looking...but fun!  I plan on making one or two more.  Who needs Barbies?
