Who knew I would 'need' this doll to add her to my collection?
Certainly I didn't until I saw her for a good price on a certain auction site!
Immediately she intrigued me and I thought rose shoes... check, khaki outfit....check, perfect for the boys...and that hair!
She has the Josefina face mold which is a favourite of mine.
Out of the box, she is even cuter.
Such a sweet face...like them all!
I had this dress knitted and waiting for her when she arrived...but I feel like I made it a bit too long, and it didn't quite suit her...
So I gave it to my tallest AG doll Faith, and it looks much better on her. (Faith is one of the 'Fabulous Five'
With the left over yarn I knitted this instead, and whilst it could do with being a tad longer, and the other a tad shorter, it was a game of 'chicken yarn' to see if I would have enough, and I guess you could say yes.
These colours look really good on her with her coloured hair,
and I think she looks cute in it.
I made this dress yesterday, using similar colours that suit her.
It was a new pattern for me, and I am pleased with how it came out.
I love this fabric!
So I have set myself a little challenge to make a bit of a wardrobe, hopefully mix n match, for Hope.
I have made another dress, but I think I am going to take the skirt off and shorten the bodice a bit. I am not entirely happy with it. I tried to enlarge a pattern I use often for Peggy Sue, and although the prototype was a good fit, the actual dress isn't as good as I would have liked, which is a jolly nuisance as it was made with some of my special NZ fabric which I won't probably ever be able to get again.
Although looking at it in these photos, perhaps it is not as bad as I think.
