Her Mama-made Doll
Posted by on December 22, 2009
Oh I’m so excited about the doll I made for Lizzie. She’s been asking for me to make her all kinds of stuff for a long while now but we have been too busy being busy! She’s been eyeing a few things that we’ve seen as we browse through blogs and Etsy.
She has been so patient and asked so sweetly for a mama-made doll. I finally braved it and tackled the doll. It really wasn’t so hard. Definitely a lot of fun to make! Well, except flipping the arms and legs, there has to be an easier way!
So check out the doll I made her (actually dolls, I was so excited about the first one I made that I had to make a smaller one but that didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped).
I decided to wait till Christmas to give her her new friends, so shhhhh! Everyday she asks me if I’m done with her doll. Poor kid probably thinks her mommy is gonna flake. =)
Lizzie is such a girly girl when it comes to certain things, that I couldn’t help but add a ric-rac trim for a necklace and mary-jane shoes to her doll. Oh and I even added dimples just like hers. Actually she wanted her doll to look like her so I made it with brown skin and made the hairstyle on both dolls to look like Lizzie’s. It makes the doll look so girly…just perfect for Lizzie.
Love these!
thanks shanna!

The dolls are cute…good job! Thanks for the bday greeting. We thought we’d see you this Christmas but Kuya Toots told us the situation
Maybe next year!
thanks frances! hope pj and key are feeling better!
Ate joyce- they came out really cute!!! what was her reaction when she got not only one, but two of them? as far as flipping the arms and legs, got no advice there… i make mistakes all the time and sew them wrong. i think the more often you do it, the faster and better you get. now, go get making her a dollhouse pillow!!!
