This is a blog for sharing dollmaking patterns, images of my life, and some poor poetry. The links to patterns should now be restored.

First of Five
Rosey Anne, the first of five new Prairie Flower girls is finished. With their bodies all nicely stuffed, they are a blank canvas; they have the potential to be anything, just like a young child.
The first doll was inspired by Raggedy Anne, with her cute triangle nose, embroidered heart, and sweet smile. I'm hoping to find a light pink gingham to make her a pretty apron. It is almost as much fun thinking about the next doll as making it :-)

Beth, she is adorable!
ReplyDeleteBeth, I love her. I was going to say I have the pink gingham I would send you, but I see someone beat me to it. I can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the bodies.
ReplyDeleteThank-you so much, hisiamone and Lisa :-) And Lisa, thank-you for your generous offer; I'm wanting to try the counterchange smocking technique that Tomi is doing...sounds a lot less tedious than ironing on dots, and a lot cheaper than buying a pleater!
