I am pretty happy with my first effort at doll making. Flaws and all. I will keep those a secret but I will say there are a few. She wouldn't have been made at all if I didn't have a bloggy friend talk me into a doll swap! I mentioned a wish to learn to make a doll and now I have.
I learnt so much making this doll, from staining the body to making hair. I used this pattern and tutorial from Lillie Mae's Crafts found here. I didn't follow her instructions on hair making but used this tutorial instead.
Lastly, her collar is something I whipped up from a pattern I drew. I was trying to make a sailor's collar. If I make a dress with sailors collar again I will be enlarging the pattern I made.
Oops! Just realized I didn't take a photo of the back view and she has gone off to live with her new family!

I love this doll. Once I made one myself. A Raggedy Anne styled doll but it looked more like an angel.
Thanks for posting the pattern. I'll have to try it out.

I will be 42 this Easter Sunday and I just discovered doll making! I have looked for months and months (since last November) for a doll pattern that I was happy with. I just found LillieMaes site yesterday. I dashed to the library to print a few (out of ink) and just made the teddy bear! I LOVE YOUR DOLL! Lookin to correspond with you in some way as I might need some help and none of my friends are into the doll thing! I have been sewing for 6 years and am retired from nursing. Please find me on my blog and send me a message! What doll are you making now? I'd love to know! www.cocobeanzcreations.blogspot.com Please follow me as I am following you! Nice blog!!!
