Hey there

And again, this Victoria is so versatile!!!

I had a bit of fun with her face – decided on mismatched buttons – one large, one small and with long eyelashes.  I think she’s looking pretty good.

Hey there.

I’ve continued playing with Victoria….she is such a lovely size and shape, and just lends herself nicely to dressing in different costumes.

Victor as well!!!!

Victoria week continues.  The classic Victoria doll.

I have used the most lovely pink and blue ticking print for these dolls.  The hair is a cream boucle which I have cut into lengths, knotted into bunches and sewn around the seam line at the top of the head.  Shoes are painted, varnished and trimmed with braid with a little buckle on the side to look like little buckle shoes.

Hey there

Victor and Victoria dressed as clowns.  What a lot of fun to make…I particularly like the idea of using different black and white prints for clowns, then adding a splash of colour.

Hey there.

I’ve been having a bit of a Victoria week.  Here is the finished Victoria Baby.  I love making this doll – she has the most beautiful lace.  I’ve used 4 different trims – 3 are beautiful Guipere lace, and one is ricrac.

Hi there

I also can’t believe that it’s been 10 years since I first published a pattern – Mermaid Magic – and it’s still one of my most popular patterns, and one of my favourite dolls to make (and one of my best sellers at shows.)

Mermaid Magic – my first ever pattern

 
In recognition of this, I have declared February to be “MERMAID MONTH” – 30 % off all mermaid patterns!!! Don’t forget that Rainbow Mermaids is available as a FREE download pattern and check out my I Love Mermaids quilt pattern – Come and join me and make mermaids this month too!!!
