Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:21:44 -0500

$35.00
This doll was handmade by me in my smoke-free enviroment.

I used a Vintage McCall's no 7222 pattern to make this doll. I decreased the size of the pattern from a 22 inch doll to a 16 inch doll.

This doll is made in one piece with a light peach broadcloth and then stuffed with polyester fiberfill.. The body pieces have a lightweight interfacing ironed to the back before stitching. The face is hand embroidered and then I put some mod-podge on the stitching to keep it in place.I applied a little blush powder to her cheeks.

The hair is 4ply knitting worsted and each strand is sewn on separately. The hair is made into a ponytail and has a red ribbon bow.

She is wearing a red dress with white dots, the sleeves are puffed with a band on the sleeve. The bodice is fully lined with a floral trim. There is velcro closure on the back of the dress. Seams are zig-zag stitched for no raveling.

The panties and half slip are made of white broadcloth and has elastic around the waist and the panties around the legs. The slip is trimmed with lace.
The shoes are made of brown felt.

All the fabric used for this doll was machine washed and dryed before being cut out.
