ABSTRACT:
The doll of the present invention is formed by outlining a desired feature with an adhesive such as a meltable, fuser thread between a front and rear piece of fabric in an outline of the desired feature such as the nose or mouth. After the adhesive is made to hold the two sheets of fabric together, soft material is inserted between the two sheets within the feature. The outline of a nose is U-shaped, and soft material can be inserted through the top opening between the two pieces of fabric. The outline of a mouth is closed so the soft material is pushed through a slit in the rear piece of fabric. The mouth can also be formed by satin-like stitches in which long stitches are formed on the top of the front sheet of material extending from the outline of the mouth or lips. The soft material is inserted through the rear sheet to cause the front sheet and the satin stitches to bulge outward. The lips can also be formed by running stitches forming an outline, which is then filled. Satin-like stitches then cover the protruding lips. Eyes are formed by stitching the front and rear sheet together next to the nose. The space between the two sheets at the forehead, cheeks and chin is then filled with more soft material, the front and rear sheets of material are sewn together, the face portion is attached to a back head portion, and the cavity between them is filled with soft material. A small sheet of rigid material can also be inserted between the face and the back piece to add rigidly to the doll. The eye locations are stitched with long stitches extending through the back piece and pulled tightly to indent the eyes.
