The ticket sold very fast I didn't have the ticket to see rugby at the Stadium but I went to joined at night party. The street in Courtenay Place is closed to traffic for the Sevens Street Party.

How to put the eyes on amigurunmi doll

2010-09-05T23:24:00.000-07:00

Eyes play an important role of Amigurumi doll,they will give a unique personality of each doll.I would like to share a little tips,that I normally use.

First. stuffing polyester firmly and put plastic eyes on and following by nose, do not sewing or attach anything yet because we can adjust position of the eyes and nose.

Second. After we finished adjust position of eyes and nose.Then take stuffing polyester out.

Third. Put the plastic safety locking back on to fix position of the eyes, and now it time to put polyester fiber fill firmly

Fourth.

Fifth. After we got the right position of the eyes then we start to attach the nose by sewing

How to attach hair on amigurumi dolls.

2010-07-20T21:18:00.000-07:00

When attach hair for Amigurumi dolls,there are many different styles and techniques to do.For me I like something easy and fast.So I used a small book or you can use a piece of card board to hold yarn together it depend on how long of doll hair you want.

Then cut it one side.

Then we divided yarn into many groups and tight it up.

Then we sew it on the doll head by used similar color of thread or yarn but before that we should put doll eyes first because you can know and adjust the position of the hair.

Finally,adjust hair style and trim hair to make it look tidy.
