Would you like to create personalized amigurumi dolls? Playing with different colors, shapes and stitches make your own unique characters?

In this class, you'll learn how to use inspiration from classical characters and make your own unique dolls. I will show you how to play with different colors, shapes and stitches to create a unique and fashionable character. This class is a continuation of my previous classes on doll making, and I'll be using the doll from my classes as an example. However, you can definitely apply this technique to your own amigurumi dolls.

I will show how to make clothes and accessories for your doll and adapt her style for your style. We will use Alice from Wonderland as an inspiration to personalize an amigurumi doll. But we won’t make just a copy, we will make our own character. I don’t want you copying me.I will share with you my process and I will tell you how I plan and create each piece of clothes and I invite you to practice with me and then create your own manner to do it.

If you have experience with amigurumi and the basic crochet stitches like the magic ring, chain stitch, single crochet stitch, and slip stitch, you're all set to join this class! If not you can take my class for beginners about the basic crochet stitches and then crochet the doll body, embroider her face, make her a beautiful wavy hair and then return to this class to improve your experience.

Here's a list of materials you'll need to follow along:
