I used Susie McMahon's Izannah pattern for this doll. She has 3 outfits. Each with matching under pantalets. The apricot homespun fabric is a never used, 22" width from the turn of the century, the yellow fabric was a piece of tucked blouse from the 30's, and the blue was a piece of a skirt from the 40's. I made her hat with straw braid from the 20's. She spans a lot of years. Her hair is made from string. That also was an old reel! I am not sure the little box will travel with her. Probably. I used a Victorian scrap for the lid and did some painting on the sides and interior. New box. She is waiting till I find some distressed leather that is just right for shoes. She has two necklaces.
She is marvellous! I love her hair! That's very clever to use string! And her outfits, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd you made her little hat too, it looks great!

She's a little masterpiece. Your dolls are very special - the attention to detail is unmatched. I love the photo of her in front of your fabric stash!!! I want that stash...
