Want to see what the dotee craze is all about?? I am now addicted to making dotees after making my first one. I want to share the dotee love. You will soon be addicted.

This is aimed at all the newbies, who are wondering what dotees are all about, but feel intimidated to jump into one of the themed swaps.

Dotee's are little dolls between 3"-5" with a hanger and a tail. Those are the ONLY requirements. Other than that it is all up to you.

You can make your dotee in any color, and any theme. This is a sender's choice swap, since we are just learning.

Here is a great video tutorial to get your thoughts started.

So, ONE dotee to ONE partner!! Senders choice!.

Remember we are all learning. So if your dotee meets the requirements:

  • 3"-5"
  • has a hanger
  • has a tail

Please rate accordingly.

I am welcoming newbies to join this IF you have a well filled out profile. I will be checking this out. These will be pretty light and on the smaller side so I am going to make this an international swap. Please do not join if you have any current 1's (PM me if there is a good explanation) or if you have less than a 4.8 rating (except newbies).

Please feel free to post questions below, or PM me. I want this swap to run as smooth as possible, so let me know if I have left anything out.

I will angel this swap if needed. BUT if you flake on my swap, I will be terribly offended and probably cry :)

I have made my first two dotees (first one a self portrait doll but the face was a little small) so much fun that such as simple doll could take on so much character with the addition of some beads and embroidery, charms and frills. I was inspired by all the pics of other swaps and plan to make some for gifts throughout the year. I used to make little dolls in a pocket but these can be used as charm dolls so will make more versatile gifts as aren't restricted just to children receiving them. Hubby asked if i could make one that looks like him, what a challenge, tall and skinny lol.

Would you object to more seasoned dotee makers signing up?

I am not a beginner, but I love getting things handmade by beginners!

I've always been curious about dotee dolls... Guess this is my chance to try and make one. I suppose people will be tolerant since it's a beginners swap. What a challenge.

Ok, partners are assigned. Lets get our cute lil dotees out by the deadline. Have fun everyone :)

Ok,is this in inch and it must be with beads on hanger and tail?Thanks.

I have looked at the tutorials, it doesn't seem to complicated. However, if anyone has a like to a pattern for the dotee, it would really help me. How big are these usually?

this is a lil hard. the face that is. how are the faces made. ?

Toupti 04/23/2009 #

OMG... mine is finally finished, but it was a lot harder than I tought to do. I found out I have no sewing skills at all. I hope my partner will like it anyways.
