The jewellery business has decreased dramatically since Christmas, so I only needed to make 20 bags this month, 10 of each size.
The doll is a sample for tomorrow's craft group meeting in a retirement home. I browsed through Pinterest for a while before settling on a pattern from Shiny Happy World. Mine looks rather different to the original because I've stuffed it a lot, whereas theirs is more floppy, but it works. I needed a pattern that was simple enough to make within time and dexterity constraints. My idea is to make the doll this week and clothes next week.
I've sewn the tatted daisies and butterflies to the food net, so it's all ready to be gifted.
Lots of sewing going on! I can picture a little girl carrying that doll around in her pocket. My attempt at making dolls several years ago was a total disaster!
ReplyDeleteThe doll is a great project.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable read and visuals! As always 😍
ReplyDeleteI love making little dolls but never have much success like Diane. The best I’ve found are Amigurumi ones.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, love your food nets. You always put so much effort into it. Can I please ask you, how you sew/attach the tatted daisies/butterflies to the food nets. Must be time consuming job.
ReplyDeleteI sew them on from the back of the net ,using thread matching the net. I’ll put some pictures up. Thanks for your comment
DeleteThanks Jane for the instructions. Good to know.
