"Ok, now we have got our dolls stuffed, to how we want it stuffed and we're going to go ahead and fold the body in, like so, decide how tall you want it to be because depending on how much you fold it in will definitely change the looks of it. I don't think it needs to be quite that tall, make sure all your pieces are way up in there, all of your scrap pieces. We're going to go ahead and take our legs and you could probably make, you could put them however you want. I'm going to put this one so their face, we'll try face up. It's like she's ready for a walk and put the other one in there the same way and I usually put them all the way to the end. Once again make sure you don't try to short yourself on how much you leave there. Get her situated under there, you're probably going to have to shove the leg over good, one more time because it likes to try to push it back. You're going to have to kind of work it through because it's a fat piece. Be gentle because you don't want to rip your doll. And we're going to go all the way to the other side and you're probably going to have to wiggle it around some because, once that other leg comes through, it wants to knock it crooked. Trying to pull it out so I'm going to shove it back in "sorry dolly." Last part and there you go. Once you're done with that you want to check for errors, make sure that you actually went through all the pieces of material and you're going to go ahead and clip your strings and maybe make her a dress or put her to bed and that is how you make your rag doll."
