Our Little Dolly
We have all the parts made and soft sculpted. I don't really like working with felt for this pattern. The seams stand out more than I'd like and the sculpting has to compete with them for your eyes' focus.
This pattern introduced me to the paisley shaped ear and I rather like it. I added the sole to the bottom of the foot, a feature I almost always insist on adding. Maybe that's silly, but for most dolls it gives me a sense of grounding them.
Now I need to embroider the face and do the hair.
I have the larger version of the doll cut out in linen. I forgot to mention that the linen didn't work in the small size. It frays too much for such tiny seam allowances, thus the felt. I can't wait for the muslin to get here. Arthur agreed that it's the better fabric for this style of doll.
