You can now see why I have been making so many “tiny” things. It just seems that although I have been making tons of doll clothes, it has been ages since the last time I made an actual doll. I wanted to make a truly brilliant one, so here she is.
I very carefully drew her pattern by hand. She is about 19 inches with a relatively thin body and thinner arms and legs. Her head of course is huge in comparison, I think it’s cuter that way. She is made with unbleached muslin fabric.
Her face is hand-embroidered and it’s one of my first attempts with embroidery too. Not bad for a beginner right? My mom loved the face, especially the pout. She thinks it looks kind of like my niece. The hair is obviously yarn and I can’t quite describe the technique I used for it. It is sort of like rooted hair, but I used an embroidery needle. Maybe I’ll show you later.
For accessories, I made this cute little handkerchief in her purse. It’s just a square of fabric with lace sewn to the edge.
And to finish the look, a simple, lace-y hair accessory with matching bows. Nothing left to do but give her a name, any ideas?
Here’s the updated list:

I cut up a pair of old socks to make socks for her.
