dolly

I have had this lovely doll pattern for ages, long before I had a little girl. Grace loves dolls now so it seamed like the perfect time to make it. It was quite easy to make and lots of fun. I particularly like how her elbows and knees bend.
I made a few tweaks to make it more toddler proof like sewing the two flower hair pieces together before stitching them on.
And I embroidered the face rather than paint it. Which to be honest was a bit nerve wracking but I think has turned out ok. Also Grace loves to put on and take off clothes so I made her a proper skirt rather sew it on to her body.


Grace loves her, although so far she is just called dollllliiiiy!
