Let's make a stuffed fox (jointed fabric doll)

In this course we will make a stuffed fox with simple joints.

This project is designed to be done in your free time and relax by sewing, it can be done without previous experience, but I must warn you that it is a bit like a textile puzzle, it has 31 pieces and it is a challenge that requires will and patience.

For the base of the doll, I recommend using fabrics with little or no elasticity, the design is meant to be divided into three different colors or patterns, but it is important that the thickness and elasticity is similar between the three fabrics you choose.

I will guide you while we prepare the patterns, mark and cut the fabric, and sew and fill the different parts of the body.

I will teach you to sew the limbs so they can move, and you can decide if you prefer to put beads, buttons or use only thread.

Finally, I will show you how I make six different types of faces, so you can choose the elements you like the most and give your fox a personal touch.

To make your fox you will need:

• To print the pattern sheets that you will find in lesson 1

• Paper scissors

• Fabric scissors

• Clamps, clips or envelopes to group patterns

• Pencils or markers visible on the fabric

• Various fabrics for the base of the doll and the details of the face

• Thread, the amount and variety you need will depend on your design

• Twisted thread to sew the joints

• A sewing needle

• Pins

• Chopstick or fine brush

• Filling / wadding

• Pliers

• Buttons or baeads in case you want to use them
