This is the doll I made for my middle daughter she wanted it for Christmas. I wasn't able to get it made before the special day. So under the tree was a box full of supplies to make the doll and thread and other such items to make clothes for the doll. As you can see the doll only has shoes the reason for this is it is my daughter's job to make the clothes and it was mine to make the doll. My daughter's favorite color is blue so this little dollie has blue hair and blue eyes and blue lashes. Of course the first thing she made for her doll was something blue. I think I would have started with the under clothing but she wanted to make shoes. She wants to use some of the patterns later for the mini free spirit doll but for now she is making her own. If you want to make your own doll go to Beth Webber's sight
byhookbyhand for her free spirit doll and clothes patterns and many others too. They are on her side bar to make it easy to find them. This doll is still nameless at this point in time.
I don't crochet. Tried and failed. But if I did, I sure would want to make one of those dolls! Love her hair! And I love the idea that you made the doll and your daughter will make the clothes! How great is that? I hope she holds onto it forever!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great doll! Love her hair; did you use Lionbrand Homespun? She is beautiful, and I love the fact that your daughter will be making her clothing. If she runs into any questions about the instructions, please have her email me at: dollmaker46203(at)gmail.com
ReplyDeleteA joy filled New Year to you and your family.

yes lion brand homespun yarn was used for the hair I have issues with it looks real cute but it tends to want to shed to much in my opinion but it is what she wanted. I think in time I will have to make more hair for the doll as I think this will give out to easily since this is a doll that will be played with and not just sit on a shelf.
ReplyDeleteOh how adorable. I love the hairstyle.
