What is inside the baby doll?

Have you ever been curious about what's inside the doll?
I finally did 'the surgery' for the doll...hooo...hooo...
This is what I found inside a Disney baby doll...


Below closer look...polyfill finer then pellet pouch, I hope you can see from the mesh fabric there are plastic pellets.


And this rattle insert!




Like what I mentioned in previous post I made pellet puch for my matryoska doll. This is how I prepare..
1. Make  circle from calico fabric.



2. Take 2 pieces of circle fabric and double sew with sewing machine and leave 2cm opening to insert the pellets.


3. Insert the pellets



3. Double hand stiched.



I prepared several pouches, so that I dont need to go back and forth to sew. I made the rectangular pouches for the matryoska but then I made them round for these cute tiny owls...:). I prefer to make circle because most of the doll's are basically rounded/circle.




The green and pink is the owl prototype that I keep for my reference. The new owls are the brown and pink. Do you see any improvement? Yes, the owls stand well compared the previous one that I made.That's improvement or 'kaizen' in Japanese word...:)

These 3 matryoska dolls go to the market...:)

Slow but sure...finally I made these 3 matryoska dolls...:). They will be on market tomorrow..:).

I filled the dolls with polyfill fiber and pellet. The pellet has been inserted in calico pouch and double stiched. I believe it will be save for children. The dolls got stabilize with this method, they stand well. Mum also can use it for pin cushion!

Im bit slower because children started going to school on February. I also made this rocket prototype...:). I want to make it with rattle inside. I couldnt find the rattle insert in SPOTLIGHT, so I have to get it via ebay. Hoping the rockets will be launch next month!
