Abbey's Birthday Doll

I wanted to make something special
 for my granddaughter's birthday.
I hope she likes it:)

I'm not going to bore you with a lot of words . . .
but instead I'll let my photos do the talking.

At the end if you have any questions,
I will be happy to answer them :)

My Pattern. 

 Constructing an arm.

Turning it right-side-out . . .
 you'll need something long and rounded on the end.
The eraser end of a pencil will work fine.

 

Pinning to sew . . . if you pin like this,
 you can sew right over the pins. 

Attaching the arms is the hardest part. 

Ouch!

First I painted her with Gesso.

Then I started painting her body, under clothes, and face.

Looking good:)

She's done :)

The Back.

I think she is in a dancing mood :)

If you are still here . . .

If you want to try your hand at making a doll 
and you have any questions . . .

I hope you like her . . .
but mostly . . .
I hope Abbey likes her:)

I've just returned from a visit
to my daughter's.

 My little seven year old birthday girl, 
loved her new doll,
she named her Rosie :)
