Some people in a group I belong to are taking part in a challenge based on this book:
At first I couldn't decide whether to make a new doll for this challenge or use an existing one... as it turned out I made a new doll - featured in yesterday's post. I had a lovely evening to myself so I worked on her features and and gave her a few accessories.
Earrings and a necklace, plus a little heart embroidered on her chest.
These pantaloons had already been made, but were going spare. I made these when in NZ with some fabric from my Mum's old sewing work box. There wasn't much left, but this was just perfect for making pantaloons from being a very soft muslin type fabric.
This dress had already been made and was going spare - I made two as this one was too long for the doll I had originally planned it for, but is perfect for her.
Her name is Amelia Amborella, continuing the plant theme that most of my dolls have. Amborella is a small evergreen shrub and you can find more information about it on Wikipedia.
D is for Dress/es
E is for Earrings
N is for Necklace
P is for Pantaloons
I have a whole list of other ideas for items I plan to make for her. Shoes will be the next priority, as she'd like to go outside to explore!
