Detail Dolly

Linen Dolly

I have made this wee Linen dolly for the 'Sew Mama Sew'  Six weeks of Softies competition and the criteria was  DETAIL, so that's what I have focused on.



I have made her hair from darning wool, it came in graduated shades of brown which suited her Linen face.


The blusher on her cheeks is just stamping ink and I ironed it to set the colour.


Her little pinafore is made from some beautiful Linen I had tucked away.




Her little boots have a button detail and the petticoat peeps out from under her dress.



A little felt flower finishes off her hat, so those are my DETAILS in this project.

    1. Thanks Joy, I know I should have been doing housework instead of sewing but a idea can't wait.

    I too am a big fan of linen, and I'm in love with this little doll!
    Especially her tiny nose, and her freckles! And the petticoat! And, and and! I could go on all day, I think =)
