Let's Make a Stuffed Fox (Jointed Fabric Doll) 🦊✨

Course Overview: In this course, we embark on a delightful sewing adventure to create a charming jointed plush doll - a stuffed fox. This project is perfect for those looking to unwind and get creative with their hands, as it can be enjoyed by beginners and seasoned crafters alike. Prepare yourself for a textile puzzle that will engage your mind, challenge your patience, and ultimately reward you with a beautifully articulated friend!

What You'll Learn:

• Pattern Preparation: We'll start by preparing the patterns for our fox. I'll guide you through each step, ensuring you can easily trace and cut them out from your fabric of choice.
• Fabric Selection: Achieving a doll with simple joints requires careful selection of fabrics. I recommend picking out three fabrics with similar thickness and elasticity for the base of the doll, ideally in different colors or patterns to add character.
• Sewing Techniques: From sewing the body parts together to inserting the limbs with joints, you'll learn various sewing skills that will help you create a life-like stuffed fox.
• Filling and Articulation: I'll show you how to stuff the doll for a plump, cuddly appearance and sew the limbs so they can move, offering you the option to add beads or buttons for more defined joints.
• Finishing Touches: Your fox won't be complete without its face! I'll introduce you to six different types of faces to choose from, allowing you to personalize your creation and give it a unique identity.

Materials Needed: ✅ Print the pattern sheets available in lesson 1. ✅ Paper scissors for cutting patterns. ✅ Fabric scissors for trimming fabric pieces. ✅ Clamps, clips, or envelopes to hold the patterns while you work. ✅ Pencils or markers that show through on your fabric. ✅ A selection of fabrics for the base and face details. ✅ Thread in various colors, as needed for your design. ✅ Twisted thread for sewing the joints. ✅ A sewing needle for hand-sewing and machine stitching. ✅ Pins to hold fabric pieces together temporarily. ✅ A chopstick or fine brush for stuffing and shaping limbs. ✅ Filling/wadding to give your fox volume and shape. ✅ Pliers (optional, for handling small parts or threads). ✅ Buttons or beads for the joints (if desired).
