Tory Troll ITH doll
$10.00 $6.00
Tory is a troll with a mischievous grin from ear-to-ear and big ol’ puppy dog eyes. He even has little toenails and fingernails on his detailed hands and feet! Make several sizes for a whole family of trolls. They can hang out in your sewing room, or use them to decorate for Halloween!
- Let your embroidery machine do all the hard work while you get all the credit for this charming and detailed doll.
- Tory can be made as a poseable art doll with a wired armature, or as a soft play doll. You decide which construction method you prefer.
- Each size requires 4 hoopings: head, body, pants, & coat
- The jointed arms can be attached with plastic doll joints on the larger sizes, or by hand-stitching for all sizes.
- The Head is hand stitched or glued to the body using a neck stem.
- Tory’s head, body, and pants require stretch fabrics. His coat can be made of fabric scraps from your stash which get stitched together in the hoop.
