Making the Body of the Doll (Part 1 of the Bunt-Doll Tutorial)

You will need:
-non-stretchy fabric (for the body of the doll, can be found at any fabric store or at Walmart)
-sewing machine and/or needle & thread (can also be found at your local fabric store)
-chalk or pencil
-sewing scissors (local craft/fabric store)
-organic wool stuffing (available here)

Draw a U-shape about 1ft tall and 1/2ft wide on your fabric. Mark an opening in the middle of the top of the 'U'. 



Cut out the 'U'. 



Sew all the edges of the 'U' excepting the opening that you marked out. 

Turn it in-side-out. 



Gather the fabric 2/3 of the way up the 'U' using small stitches on the outside and large ones on the inside. 



Pull taught to your liking and bind-off the thread. 



Stuff the body how ever you like with wool. 



That's it! For how to start on the head of the bunt-doll see Part 2 of the bunt-doll tutorial
