This lovely man doll has been stitched on my machine using a technique known as freemotion machine embroidery, he is ready to be shipped.
By operating the sewing machine with the feed dogs down, the presser foot does not hold the fabric down so it is much more free flowing than normal stitching (hence the name freemotion) allowing you to move the fabric where you like , the needle is the brush and the paint is the thread ,which you cannot do with normal machine stitching, but one has very little control when stitching with this technique resulting in a beautiful scribble of stitches giving it a lovely naive look to it.
This fabric doll will stand up independently and measures approx 20 cm (8") high and is 12 cm (4 3/4" )deep and 10 cm ( 4" ) at the widest point of his elbows.
This plush doll is made from calico and stitched with black thread, fabric ink has been used for his features, added detail of check trousers stuffed with toy stuffing and a felt base hand stitched on.
This novelty doll would make a great gift for men.
