New Pocket Pixie WIPS

Shelly's Pocket Pixie pattern is such a delightful doll form, and a wonderful pattern to embelish.  Here are three new WIPs (work in progress) that I've been playing with.














Felt applique hearts and cheek color for Amanda.  Her hair is Reynolds Lopi, a bulky weight single ply wool yarn.













Embroidered flowers and wool boucle yarn for Black Eyed Suzanne (of course!)















More embroidered flowers, and a very fuzzy mohair yarn with slubs of blue and yellow for Petunia. 


 Felt is such a wonderful dollmaking medium, and these little dolls are a delightful canvas.

    Thank you so much for your good words, Carolyn, Catarina, and Lois.

    Lois, boucle yarn is like instant hair; crochet the wig cap and you're done :-)

      Sometimes I will sell a doll, if I have one available and the person is agreeable with the price. I would much rather encourage you to make you own. These dolls are extremely easy to make, and it is so satisfying to make something uniquely your own.
