Pinch Stitching Dolls





To pinch stitch doll faces you will need to lightly draw the eye brows, nose and mouth shapes on the doll face. I use a regular pencil. Most of my dolls will be painted or coffee stained so the pencil marks will not show. Start at the back of the head and secure a knot. Take the needle through to the nose and stitch UNDER the fabric, pushing the fiberfil up. Continue this up and down the nose. The nose will "pop" off the face. Repeat for the eyebrows and mouth. When done take the needle back to the back of the head and secure a knot.
