Introducing Molly

I finally finished the doll I've been slowly working on since January. I named her Molly; Olivia has claimed her for her own. She is just a prototype-I used inexpensive materials on her. Now that I know how to do it, I'll have to make a better one when I have another spare 40 hours or so.

The pattern was from a book I got for Christmas. It is filled with adorable patterns for dolls, dogs, ducks and horses.

She is by far the most complicated doll I've made yet. Her face was intricately embroidered using one string of floss at a time.  Her eyes have 4 different colors of floss.

Her tiny fingers were very hard to sew and stuff. Mine kind of look more like an animal paw.

Each piece of hair was hand sewn individually.

She turned out pretty cute. I love her wool felt shoes and yellow hair.

She was quickly accepted into Olivia's most elite group of dolls. Now I have to get to work on a vintage inspired horse pattern from the book for Charlotte.
