Doll for Talia
I have finished my first doll. Mimi Kirchner created the pattern for Pearl Bee Mimi's Hand Sewn Felt Dolls - the purl bee. I had to start someplace. The pattern and instructions were easy to follow, even though I changed it just a little. Like I made the dress into a coat, I changed the hair using the pattern for the second style. I realized I like a little more production (for the project to go a little quicker) and I am not that good at hand sewing. Which is all this doll is. I made her for my very good friend's daughter. She is turning 5 and is a "girlie girl" but someday I hope she will appreciate where this comes from. (My heart) Happy Birthday Talia! I am ready for my next doll and I think so are my girls!!! A huge inspiration is the work of Jess Brown- Jess Brown Design
Check out Mimi's website- Doll and Purl Bee- the purl bee - the purl bee both the best!!!
