JANET'S VOODOO CLASS
Come up with disgusting ideas
and email in your horrible creations!
(Please type 'creations' in your email subject line)
THINGS YOU WILL NEED
Fabric – for the body Hessian,
Linen or similar looking fabric
1/2 metre piece.
Red & black embroidery thread or
any colours that you like.
2 buttons of different sizes.
Stuffing – you can buy stuffing or
use old tights cut up into small
pieces or even dry peas,
beans or lentils.
Needle & sewing cotton
STEP 1
Begin by downloading a voodoo doll
template (you can find these with a
quick search online) or draw out your own
design and cut around it carefully.
Make sure that the
arms and legs are not too thin.
(Watch this space, we will upload
our own template soon)
STEP 2
Fold your fabric in half widthways with
the two sides together.
Pin the template onto the
folded fabric and cut out.
STEP 3
Sow across each arm at the point where
it joins the body. Do this on all arms and
legs and on both pieces.
Try to get lines matching.
STEP 4
Put right sides of body together,
matching up the stitching on the
arms and legs.
STEP 5
Sow around the edge, leaving a
gap for stuffing.
STEP 6
Turn the whole thing through, stuff with
filling. Making sure to get it right
down both legs and arms,
fill the body but don’t over stuff it,
then sew up the opening.
STEP 7
Sew on your button where the eyes
should be.
STEP 8
Sew the mouth – a long line, with
shorter ones over the top, using
the black embroidery thread.
STEP 9
Then sew on your heart, using the red
embroidery thread. You can add other
embellishments, like scars on the body
at this stage too.
All done, have fun!
