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.
Your doll's details are darling!

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

ReplyDeleteI 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 =)
Thanks yes I love Linen, all my drapes in my house are white Linen and my Headboard mushroom linen, my black trousers and matching jacket, oh and my navy trousers and I could go on.
