Isn't she cute?I just finished testing this Elise doll pattern for Beatrix at Kindershop Online. It's the first time I've ever made a stuffed "anything" but it worked fairly well. The pattern is very detailed with good instructions and a picture with every step. I had a bit of trouble getting the arms and legs to stay in place when I sewed it all together but if I make it again that would go much smoother.
I added the little sleeves and used felt with an orangey glow because it's for our almost one year old with "red" hair. :) I also hope to make her (our daughter) a dress to match which I'll post later when I have it done and we give it to her for her birthday.
On to the Giveaway...
Beatrix has offered a PDF pattern for one of you lovely people!! Leave a comment letting us know where you're commenting from and I'll pick a winner on Tuesday evening.
Here she is with all her "stuffy" friends (picture complements of my 6 year old).
Elise... what a pretty name and what a cute doll! I have done the Molly Monkeys from mmmcrafts (she has a free pattern to download) and also had a lot of trouble with those pesky arms and legs stuffed inside! I would love to win a free pattern for another stuffed friend.
ReplyDeleteI am commenting from the not so cold and chilly (at least not nearly as cold as you!!)land of Grimsby, Ontario. We still have not had any snow - my kids are quite upset about this fact and are wondering if winter will EVER get here!
