I’m so proud of myself for finishing up this last sweet girl before the end of February. Of course I did have one extra day- thank you Leap Year! No more girls waiting to be finished. Um, except for the tattooed girls which I will get to soon, I am promising them.
I pulled out all the silk ribbon and also some cotton lace.
A big silk bow on the back of the dress and one on her head too.
I pulled out all my fancy buttons to pick just the right one for her throat. It took me an hour. And that was after I’d sewed on a silk bow and then nixed it.
The dress fabric is part of the original stash of wools I got from my Mom’s attic.
She has silk ribbon laces- very fancy!
I LOVE THIS ONE!! The blonde hair and dark clothes look really cool!
Mimi she is exquisite! I love the lace collar, her white hair, and especially her boots!
Oh my goodness, Mimi, you have outdone yourself! She is gorgeous and I love every single fabulous detail. Her grey eyes are so unusual and work so beautifully with her white hair. Brava!
Simply beautiful!
Such beautiful eyes, and I love the ruching effect you achieved with her sash. She is just lovely!
She’s so pretty, Mimi! Those grey eyes underneath those lovely white eyebrows are absolutely beautiful. She just might be one of my all time favorite girls of yours.
She’s so sweet ~ she would fit right in with the Downton Abbey cast!
I love her beautiful eyes! The colors on this doll work wonderfully! Can’t wait to see those tattooed girls!
love her! Her eyes are great and love the shoes too, the silk ribbon, it’s all beautiful. Have a soft spot for those fish too – there’s something about them. :)
Precious. Your work is exquisite. So blond and delicate, yet spirited. She’s ready for spring!
I did a version of one of your dolls (with the tutorial you provided on Purl Bee), but I did mine with fabric instead of felt, check it here…
