To work you will need:
• Burlap, or thick canvas fabric.
• Fabric for clothing. It can be colored cotton fabric or silk.
• Tow.
• Leg-split.
• Synthetic filler.
• Eyes for dolls.
• Threads, needles, buttons, scissors, hook No. 3, paper, all kinds of ribbons and decor.
• Glue gun.
Progress:
1. First you need to make patterns.
Transfer the doll's elements onto paper and cut them out. Then place these elements on burlap fabric. Trace with chalk (pencil or marker) taking into account an allowance of 5 mm per side. Cut out.
- head – 1 pc.
- nose – 1 pc.
- elements of arms and legs – 8 pcs.
- sole elements – 4 pcs.
Patterns (house 1-2).
2. We collect the elements of the doll.
To assemble the head, you need to step back 1 cm from the edge of the pattern and use a needle to make a gathering stitch along the entire diameter. Pull together, leaving a small hole for stuffing.Fill the doll's head with padding polyester and distribute it evenly. Pull the hole and secure the thread.
We assemble the nose in the same way as the head.
We attach the nose in the middle of the face of the head using a needle or glue gun. We mark the locations of the eyes and glue them.
We collect the elements of arms and legs. At the same time, leave a hole for stuffing. Filling the elements. Attach the sole to the leg elements. We sew up the holes.
We form the torso. We fill it with padding polyester and sew it up.
We create the doll's arms and legs. Using buttons we form joints. We attach them to the body. Sew on the head.
3. We sew clothes for the house elf.
Patterns (house 3-4).
We transfer the patterns onto paper. Then onto the fabric, taking into account seam allowances of 5 mm.
We assemble the shirt from the shoulder seams. We insert the sleeves. Sew up the side seams. We decorate the sleeves, bottom and top of the shirt with a contrasting trim. We assemble the pants at the seams. We bend the top and pull in the elastic.
We dress the doll.
4. We knit bast shoes and a hat from twine. They can be purchased at hardware or gift stores. We put them on the brownie.
5. We form hair from tow. To do this, take a sheaf of tow and tie it in half. We attach it to the back of the head with glue. We distribute it evenly over the brownie’s head and use glue if necessary. Carefully trim off the excess. We put on a hat.
6. Shaping the beard. In the same way as the hair, distribute the beard evenly around the nose. We fasten with glue. We cut off the excess.
Here the brownie is ready. All that remains is to sew the bag. In which pour a little rice or buckwheat. In this way we will appease the creature and it will begin to help us. It is also necessary to give it the appropriate attributes.For example: a key to a home so that there is peace in the house, money so that there is always money, a spoon so that the owners will always be well-fed.
