Lever 3: Application

My to do task was to make my own quilt doll and show pictures of making the doll. I successfully made my own doll. I create it in my own without any help. I took pictures in each step that I will use in my blog post. Also it was challenge for me to sew every single pieces carefully.

First, ready all the ingredients, scissors, fabrics, needle, pins, button and thread.

 Draw the design of the doll on the fabric. Use erasable pen.

 Cut the fabric.

Sew ear part first, left space to turn over. 

Then, sew face part. 

Don'r forget to sew ear together inside.

Also left space to turn over. 

Head 

Next is the body, I used pin to hold the fabric. 

Body 

Put cotton inside of the head and body. 

Then close the hold, make sure cotton to not come out. 

Then add some details. I put button eye on it. 

Stick it all together by sewing. I made ribbon for cat.

Welcome to My Unit Of Inquiry!



During this Unit Of Inquiry, what I am going to learn about is Quilting doll my essential question is How can I learn to make a doll by quilting and why will this affect people. The reason WHY I think it is important to learn this is can make it for others. The Area Of Interaction that this topic meets is human ingenuity because it's the project is making by human. I am a visual learner, so I will most likely choose activities that are show the each process by picture or drawing. Some activities that I will do to learn about this are: research about making doll and finding pictures. These activities will help me because I will learn about how to make doll.

I think I have enough free time to do this project. I use my free time for my homework or just spend with computer. If I don't have any homework I'll get enough time to do this project. It will help me to learn what I chose. I think it's not that hard for me to manage myself. All my projects are self managing and it's individual project so it's not that difficult to manage time.
