A friend of my daughters was here a few weeks ago. I was telling her mom that I made dolls, etc. She made me feel really good with her praise of some of my work. She really liked the mermaid doll I’d made. I’ll try and find a picture.

So I decided to make a doll for her. The pattern is called “Zaftig Fairy” I’ve never made the fairy. I’ve gone with more of an Angel.

The first picture is playing around with costuming. Because of the dolls shape it’s difficult to make any kind of clothing. So, I’m trying something new. It’s a draping process. You basically put the material on the the doll, then cut, sew etc in place. It’s not something I’ve tried before, but this is how we learn right. The next pic is another stage. The third should be the wings, these were hand sewn and hand quilted. I need to finish the clothing, attach the wings and do the face. Im really terrible at faces. So, we’ll see
