  8. Step 8

    8) Next, it's clothes, which also depend on who you're making. Make robes out of vest-shaped clothes. Cut wide rectangles for sleeves and then sew them onto the holes in the vest. Turn the piece inside out, and you have a long shirt like piece. Sew the piece onto your character, slipping it's arms through the sleeves. Sew the front of the shirt shut. Take the half circle type thing and sew the ends to the front of the robe. Keep it so that the hood lines the top of the robe.

    9) Finish by adding the face and details with fabric pens. Your doll is COMPLEET!
