Whenever I make something for a second baby, I try to make something for the big sister/brother as well. This time, I am making a doll for my niece. I haven't made a doll before but so far I like how this one is turning out. I used Simplicity Pattern 2462 and some fabric I had on hand. I made a dress for her and today she will get little pantloons. I'm not sure yet what I will do about hair. Yarn or doll hair? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
I especially wanted to show you her face. I stitched her with my machine, using a design from Embroider USA Florida. I think hair will make all the difference. Right now she looks kind of freaky to me.
I have had fun making this doll, could be a new obsession for me. Dolls everywhere! I will post a full picture when she is ready for her debut!
Keep stitching,
I LOVE your doll for your niece! What a sweet idea! My mom and I were both doll sewers, and I have loads of them...like yours...mostly cloth/ raggedy type dolls. We both loved rag dolls. Mom also made me some beautiful knitted dolls. It is addicting! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteDolls for me...well I always hate the process and love the end result, yours is adorable!

Replacement parts vary in price, and you are going to
have to result in the determination on if they should proceed with the repairs, if your
cost outweighs the value in the timepiece.
