I was lucky enough to test another one of Jodie's patterns, Elsie Cabbage. I put her in a tree, because she's a tree-climbing kind of girl.
In fact, Elsie is happiest when she is outdoors.
I don't know if it is the lop-sided pig-tails, just like her own...
But Amélie has
How could you not love this cute, freckly face?
I don't know why we bothered with the shoes, because Elsie prefers to go barefoot.
...and naked, apparently.
Watch out for Elsie Cabbage, the pattern should be available in a week or two. If your local doesn't stock Ric-Rac patterns, give them a funny look and ask them to order some in for you.
awww, too cute! looks like Amelie is out to test how tough you make her dollies! a size 2 stitch length perhaps? heehee
ReplyDeleteThe stitch length was 2.2. It is the default for my machine and what I like to use for piecing quilts and for stuffed toys. I use a longer stitch length (3) for dress-making, but we don't want any bits of fluff popping out of the seams and the seams have more stress on them when the toy is so tightly stuffed.
DeleteI used linen thread to sew on her arms and legs, so hopefully they will stay on!
I loved Elsie over at Jodies and now I love her at your place , it is a fantastic pattern and you did a great job !
ReplyDeleteI love Jodie's patterns. It is always exciting creating them as they are so different to everything else out there.
DeleteI am just confused which one is the doll???
