It is easy to take and several other forms of limb and trunk elements. If necessary, make them more elongated or, conversely, plump. Folds in the knees and elbows are usually squashed, although some perform these parts separately, which takes longer.

There is a detail of the eye that is sewn onto the head. The space is filled with a synthepon. The eye will turn out to be voluminous, although it is not necessary to do this.

Working with the finished pattern

In order for you to get a neat doll-pump-head, the pattern should be exactly built. The easiest way to use a ready-made template. Take your favorite option and print it on the right scale. If you do not have a printer at hand, you can accurately transfer the image from the monitor screen by attaching a glass to it.

Based on the finished contour drawing, you can create your own version, slightly changing the proportions of the details.

How to make a pattern yourself

First, determine how many individual elements will sew your character. The body can consist of one piece, or all parts are done separately, and then stitched. The easiest way to make a head in the form of a ball is to use a shred of elastic nylon, for example, a piece of golf or pantyhose. In this case, you will quickly make a doll-pump-head. A pattern for the head will not be needed at all. To sew all the details of cotton fabric, you will have to cut out the elements of the head, from which the ball (petals) or the three-dimensional part with the spout will sew.

With all the other parts of the problems will not arise. They are easy to make.
