Dolls
All of these dolls are
suitable for beginners, with easy sewing techniques. Their faces are
painted using easy and achievable techniques. Instructions include how to
get a quick and easy tea-dyed (or skin tone) look with paint after you
have made your doll, instead of the normal mucking around of tea-dying.
The full size patterns are included, which can be enlarged to make
different sized dolls. There are several options with the arms and legs,
making them suitable to hang on the wall, stand or sit them on a
shelf. You can include "past their best" treasures, such as old doilies,
lace and fabric scraps, buttons etc. you can't part with.
$13 Australian/ $16
International includes postage.

PP# D01 Annie (39cm tall not including her hair!)
This is my version of Raggedy Anne,
prettier and with softer colours than traditionally used. Instructions include
how to make her mop of rag hair from one piece of fabric. Use old doilies (or
new ones made to look old) for her apron. Colour painting guide for face and
shoes included

PP# D02 Lucinda (43 cm tall)
This is the little girl with the
little curl in the middle of her forehead. Although she's a bit pouty, she's
one of my favourites anyway. Instructions include how to make her ringlets from
cotton twine, and a colour face painting guide.

with minimum fuss. Her apron is made from an old embroidered doily and fabric
scraps. Instructions include how to make her boots look and feel like leather,
and colour face painting guide.
