bag doll so far

Here she is, sitting in the kitchen. She is not done yet. Her wig is not finished, just pinned on. I’m thinking about a hat. There were a few other things in the bag that I haven’t used. I’m still thinking about them. I don’t have to use them but it would be fun to use it all…

I really struggled to get the center opening of the vest and the cross-over of the coat to match up. I put lace around the collar but it doesn’t really show here.

the coat button- it was part of my bag.

The vest and the lining of the coat-

sleeves and lace at the wrist-

Here she is with my hand which may give you some scale. Also, little buttons on the sweater.

One of the challenges was how to make the layers close, without having too much bulkiness in the center with buttons, snaps, overlaps, etc. I decided to butt the edges of the sweater and make loop buttonholes. Same with the vest, except I used hooks.

Here are the shoes-

Since I’m not quite sure what else I want to do and I have another project pressing, I’ve started on something else… But really, I will try to finish this and not get completely distracted!

  2. I think she is absolutely awesome! What a wonder bag of goodies you got. Everything goes so well together. You are a wonderful artist to put this doll to gether so beautifully.

  3. MiMi- This is a beautiful doll! I love the fabrics together! How lucky to have such a nice bag of textures to work with! I like how it makes you stretch- I would never have used big drapery trim like that but it looks simply fabulous! Makes me want to try a few different directions. Love the tibetian Lambswool hair too! I once had a friend who made cats from them- they were so life-like! I love your stuff and am hoping I can get a postcard of yours someday! I have fallen in love with several of those little faces! So sweet! I love the cards too! They would be so sweet framed! I’ll be back on payday! :) Kim

  4. Although it was a lovely collection in that bag, what you have done with the contents is amazing. I never get tired of looking at your work!

    Stay warm!
