Team Hernandez took a break from Playschool Hunting and Blogging
this Sunday when we attended a dollmaking workshop at Pylones Philippines in
PowerPlant Mall, Rockwell. Despite having zero-skills in sewing and dollmaking,
I bravely signed up for the workshop sponsored by @Pylonesph and
@dolldalitadollmaker. We simply wanted to take a break and bond as a family.
Besides, after IG-stalking @pylonesph and @dolldalitadollmaker, I
knew Team Hernandez would enjoy the day!
Everyone knows that Pylones is home the cutest and funkiest
stuff imaginable. Pylones is the perfect place for this
one-of-a-kind workshop. Their shop in Rockwell is cat-heaven for me
already. (hint: this where you shop me a gift!).

@dolldalitadollmaker speaks for itself. The account and
business, owned and managed by Mommy Jac, sells Waldorf-styled dolls. You can
even ask her for custom-made stuffed dolls. Prices are very affordable,
too!
The event started at 2pm, and Pylones soon got filled with Mommies
and Daddies with their daughters and surprisingly, their sons! I love how dolls
aren't stereotyped as girls' toys anymore.

Each family was given Mommy and Daughter patterns and sewing
kit.
Little girls were supposed to help their Mommies by making the
Daughter doll, but since Baby Charley was more interested in eating the stuff,
looking a the cute displays at Pylones, and playing with the other babies, Boss
'Ayat ended up making the Daughter Doll instead.
Not that he was complaining cos he sews better than I did!

After an hour and a half of "pretend" sewing and
doll-making, the workshop ended, and we're very happy that Baby Charley got to
take home two new dolls made by her Mommy and Daddy.
The workshop really was a blast! Everyone present had fun
sewing, making dolls, and bonding with each other. I believe besides the free
Mommy and Daughter dolls and the newly discovered skills *ehem!*, what we loved
more was the great opportunity to bond with each other as a family and a
great kwentuhan topic in the future.

Our Mommy and Daughter dolls may not be close to perfection, but
we're proud to tell Baby Charley in the future that Mommy and Daddy made them
for her.
Thank you @PylonesPh and @Dolldalitadollmaker for this awesome
Sunday afternoon.
You may check their websites and IG accounts for details.
Aww, these are so cute - definitely the perfect gifts for our kiddies!
ReplyDeletewhat's even more beautiful is that you and your daughter made these yourselves! :)
DeleteInteresting! I wonder what kind of doll I can come up with? XD
ReplyDeleteThey also have custom-made dolls. :)
DeleteI'm not into dolls and I'm not into sewing too. But I'm into cute things from Pylones. Hehe :)
ReplyDeleteSame here, Mommy. Pylones has really tons of cute stuff! I love it there! :)
DeleteThis cuteness overload. I super love activities like that and how curious Charley's eyes o!
ReplyDeleteI love this kid of workshop! Like you I really don't have skills on sewing, though I know the basics. The final dolls are cute! Great gifts for little girls!
ReplyDeleteHahaha ang cute nyo! The dolls look so pretty, I'm sure they would make fabulous heirlooms!
ReplyDeleteAww. Dolls made by mommy and daddy! I bet you both enjoyed creating those dolla! This place is a new discovery at least for my part. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that your husband came and sewn with you! Been seeing Pylones store in MOA and has been curious ever since but had not set foot on it. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteCute! I love crafting activities. So I'll try this soon :)
ReplyDeleteOooh the dolls are so cute! My girls are now too old for dolls though. But who knows? The baby in my belly could be a girl. Haha!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is one bonding activity that I can see me and my daughter doing together, especially the doll-making. Very nice :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting workshop! My daughter would definitely love that.
ReplyDeleteCatchy name for a doll! This looks like a lovely workshop to join with the little ones. I hope they host a similar event near me soon!
ReplyDeleteI've seen this store! I thought it had a lot of cute things but I didn't know there were doll making materials. Now, if only I had a little girl to make these dolls with. My daughter is a teen now and she was never really interested in dolls.
ReplyDeleteCharley's busy again! :) I love the dolls! Wish my son and I can bond over that too. I don’t stereotype dolls. I think it's a great learning tool for boys to encourage them to be more nurturing.
ReplyDeletejelaous! i love pylones :) and i enrolled in a dollmaking workshop w craftmnl before and i thoroughly enjoyed it!
