I've never made a doll before, it was fun trying some thing new.
I enjoyed choosing all the different fabrics. I think I am addicted to fabric.
Some lessons were learnt. Such as, 4.30pm any day of the week is the children's witching hour, don't even attempt to embroider a dolls face. You may forget to read the instructions properly, and embroider her a brown mouth instead of a red one. I ran out of energy to start again, I just went over the brown with some red, a one year old will never notice.
The skirt is reversible, so she already has a different outfit in her wardrobe.
I may call her Dotty - do you think this name suits her? I can't call her Ruby Lou like the pattern as I have a niece called Ruby, it could get a little confusing for everyone.
Here she is, almost nudey-rudey, with no skirt on.
She turned out alright, methinks. Not sure if Dotty will survive a one year old, am I mean not letting Zoe play (chew) with it? Or should I just relax and let her do as she will, it is her dolly after all.
Lots more lovely creative spaces over here.
Have a lovely day peeps, Cat

She looks great, you've done a great job!
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute! I love the pigtails. But your right I think my favorite part about all these softie dolls are the fabrics..So fun!
ReplyDeleteShe looks lovely. Kind of reminds me of my daughter ;D
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful! I made Noah a hand sewn fabric ball which he has been playing with for about 6 months- it's been kicked, chewed, thrown, jumped on, pulled and still hasn't broken. So unless Zoe is more rough than my boys, I think she'll be ok to play with it :) Plus it makes you feel so good as a Mummy when the kids get enjoyment out of something you made for them! :)
