little witch #2
I hope you aren’t getting tired of these little girls because I am still having fun with them. Here is another little witch… or maybe a Jane Eyre sort of girl.
She has a black undersuit, so her arms are black. Her dress is purple cashmere with a silk ribbon closure. It is hard to get the photos right when the colors are so dark.
I am excited about her hair-
I used the felt beads (I dyed them all black) again. 5 small ones for bangs, 5 big ones in the back.
Here is her scarf, off. I was very nervous about doing the hand-stitched button holes when I was dressing Marigold. I seem to have gotten over it and am having fun with them now!
The dress is made from the arms of a cashmere sweater, cut at about elbow length- 2 arms, cut open, pinned together, sewed up the sides to where the cuff starts. Then sewing in at the top of the cuffs, about 1 inch on each side for shoulder seams. The cuffs are the bodice. Close zigzag at bottom edge for the ruffle. Add ribbon to gather.

Oh she is wonderful! The hair is great. The dress is BRILLIANT! Would it be terrible to try that for one of my EFA dolls? If that is too close to stealing, please tell me and I won’t do it. I recently made a blouse for a little EFA doll with the sleeve of an antique christening gown.
