Dollie in the Making

I just love making these little dollies. I got this pattern from www.bitofwhimsy.com and adapted it to my liking. I make each dollie to match your child's eye color, hair color and style. Today was Dollie making day. I had two custom ladybug orders for Miss Layla and Miss Jilly ,so I worked on them together. First, I cut all the pattern pieces :

Love doing the hair, I use felt or yarn depending on the length and type. Miss Jilly got black yarn pigtails !

Then comes my not so favorite part, sewing and stuffing the little arms and legs : Body parts:

I LOVE stuffing the body... the dollie's come alive. 

PEEK A BOO!

 

Most dollies come with a matching dress . J is for Jilly !
