Project by Peggy Flynn of Portland, Ore.
Peggy Flynn is a spunky, fun spirit who uses her artistic talents to create a number of theatrical dolls. One day after an exhausted Peggy completed one of her more elaborate full-bodied dolls, she asked herself the question, "How can I make this easier?" That led to the birth of her whimsical totem figure, the Woo Doll.
Materials and Tools:
colorful fabric
polyester filling
needle and thread
sewing machine
scissors
flower, raffia or marabou trim
glue
beads or charms
paint (optional)
wooden base (optional)
Steps:
1. Make a pattern for your Woo.
2. Trace Woo and Woo face onto fabric and cut out pieces.
3. Sew face on sewing machine and turn inside out.
5. Baste face to Woo body by hand and then sew onto body using zigzag stitch.
Note: You can also paint or embroider a face and then later sew on the eyes and mouth, as shown in step 8.
6. Sew body and stuff with poly filling.
7. Sew bottom closed (after whispering good intentions, this is after all a positive energy totem!).
