I started a new doll for Ivy. I just wasn't happy with the way the other doll was turning out. It was a cute pattern, but it seemed more a sit-on-the-shelf doll than a cuddly play-with-me doll. I am using the Nekomimi pattern at Runo's Dollmaker site. It's a simple pattern, but I've had to adjust it--since I already made the dress for the other doll, I need to make this one a little smaller than the original pattern, which is somewhat tricky. But I know I'm be happier with this doll and that will make the extra work worth it.
Looking for Santa maybe? That was Miranda's theory. I was more concerned about a trapped bird, but there didn't appear to be anything in the flue so I have no idea what they were so interested in.
I have that Animals A to Z book. It rocks my toy-making world!
What are you making from it?
