In this 5-day summer camp, students will learn how to create their own soft doll using felt, polyfill, and the backstitch. Note* If the student already knows how to do the backstitch and ladder stitch that will be helpful, but it's not mandatory. Day 1: Students will sew their dolls' arms and legs together, and will sew the body of their doll and attach the legs. Day 2: Students will attach the dolls' hair and face, and the back of the hair to the base of the neck Day 3: Students will attach the dolls' eyes, create the lips, and sew the head pieces together. Day 4: Students will stuff the arms, legs, body, and head and will attach the head and arms to the body. Day 5: Students will sew the doll's dress.
