Update on Cinderella Doll Pattern

I have been making progress as you can see. I actually made two dolls, this one is a bit smaller, so the "glass slippers " will be too big for this one. Thats okay, it will give me a chance to play!

The body still needs a lot of needle sculpting to smooth it out. I am using Southern Belle cotton fabric.... I just love it and a premium polyester fiber fill. She has an armaturn in one leg, (you can see it in the top picture). Once my husband drills a hole for me in the wooden base I have chosen it will be so much easier to work with. I found some gorgeous lace from Hong Kong. It is very delicate in cream and soft peachy pink colors... I also bought other pieces of lace and other fun stuff... can't wait to start her costume.

Keep checking for more updates!

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Starting my newest doll pattern- Cinderella

You guessed it! I found these "glass slippers", and Cinderella came to mind! Not just any Cindrella this one will be very fancy a true Bell Of The Ball. These shoes are actually plastic and they were found in the Wedding section for party gifts. So I measured the shoe to figure out the body size. She will be approximately 20" tall. It will be a Cloth Doll Pattern. I will be posting the progress with pictures as I go.... I already ordered some gorgeous lace through eBay, can't wait to receive it!
The Mermaidens Doll Club I belong to will be testing the body part of the pattern and making runway dolls as a challenge for our club. So I will also be making a runway doll using this pattern. I will keep you posted.

New Victorian Wall Hanging

I just had to share this with you. This was a special order for one of my wonderful customers. It is a Shabby Victorian Beaded, Embroidered Quilt Wall Hanging. It measures 18.5X16". She will be putting it into a shadow box so it can be enjoyed year around while being protected from dust and other elemants. I am so happy with the way it turned out!

Have a lovely day! Hugss, Caroline
