Part of the reason for not posting recently is because I've felt so rough. I have been very healthy for quite a while so catching a cold and a developing a chest infection was annoying and very unpleasant. It has left me feeling tired. I helped Katy make her curtains which are now up at her window and looking great. Apart from the curtains, sewing has been very limited. Over the weekend I decided I needed to pull myself together and get on with something. I decided to pull out the dolls I'm making for the dolls house. When I last looked at these I'd sewn round the dolls patterns.
I cut the shapes out and painted flexible fabric glue on all the seams. I then cut a hole in the back of the baby doll so that I could turn the seams to the inside. It was a bit of a struggle to do and at one point I was holding this small jumble of fabric
Eventually I got it the right side out and then I could start filling it with toy stuffing. Unfortunately I remembered I had finished the stuffing when I made the stuffed rabbit earlier in the year so I need to go shopping for more.
The pattern for the wire was easy to follow. Ill share more about the dolls at the weekend.

Glad to hear that you're feeling better and have fun at the Hop!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are feeling better, that chest infection sounds nasty indeed. Good luck with those doll bodies, they look much too tiny for me go deal with.
