But there are plenty of stores on Etsy that sell all the supplies for this kind of doll making. I highly recommend The Olive Sparrow, a store in Toronto with very affordable & fast shipping worldwide.

    I'm crocheting a hoodie sweater for my daughter for Christmas as I watch you create this fantastic little baby doll. As life goes at times, it's been a rough week for me. Watching you create while listening to your superbly peaceful music selection has put me in quite content spirits. I admire your talent tremendously and am nearly ready to give fiber art dollmaking my best shot. Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your work with the rest of us. May you and your family be well blessed this Christmas season and thereafter.

    I love the Christmas music, the table... watching your hands at work. So inspiring!! So can a little guy like this be submerged in water for washing? I’d like to do more needle felting but need my toys to be little kid friendly at this point!

    Yes, it can, because it only has partial needle felting. If the entire head was firmly felted, then I would only spot clean. I have washed dolls with this style of face before and they do dry completely, but only gentle hand washing please.

It's hard to find people to answer my questions even at our local quilting store. Thanks again for the video.

    I love the doll you created, 😇but could have donated the sweater to some child in need, as many don't have even this and used some other fresh cloth or torn sweater to make the doll. Removing some frost from someone's life and addding loving warmth. Just a suggestion.💗

    You will not believe the amount of sweaters that get donated here from people in our community and I personally do this on a regular basis with our clothing, however I create dolls like this one by using high end cashmere sweaters, not really suitable for a child. This sweater had a lot of pearls and fancy designs. Thanks for the comment.
