Last Christmas I had visions of making handmade (Waldorf) dolls for Scarlett and Tess (I had already made one for Audrey) and giving the three of them doll wardrobes to go with them. I knitted some little sweaters but that's as far as I got. This year I had similar, but more elaborate visions because the wardrobe ideas were growing. Again, I fell far short from the goal. But I did make two dolls! (With some very late nights and finishing them early Christmas morning!) And I dressed them in the sweaters from last year, which I'd tucked secretly away.
For Audrey, a red sweater on the doll I made her when her younger sister was born.
And some new red hair ribbons.
For Scarlett, a fair-skinned doll with dark brown eyes (like Scarlett) and pale long hair she can play with.
Scarlett is calling her "Elsa," inspired by her favorite movie.
And for Tess, a dark skinned doll with green eyes and dark curly hair in big piggy tails. I know I shouldn't pick a favorite but I love this little one!
January should be a good month for sewing doll clothes...
For the first doll I made I purchased a Magic Cabin doll making kit, which sadly they sell no longer. I bought the supplies for these two new dolls from Joy.
I love these dolls, they are so adorable
ReplyDeleteThese dolls are just beautiful! I love the handmade sweaters they are wearing too. =)
ReplyDeletethey are gorgeous !! Love the little cardis too - so cute !
ReplyDeleteI love their sweet faces, and I must say, I think the darker skinned one is my favourite too. It's all that lovely hair. :)
