Yesterday at the craft show, a customer wanted to custom order a doll an 8 year old girl. No face and no coffee staining. Blonde hair. The rest was up to me.
I went through my patterns and decided to use a doll pattern from Sweet Meadows Farm called "Mamma's Breakfast". I made her with tan muslin since I couldn't coffee stain her. Here's a link to the pattern I used. You MUST see the pattern, to see how much you can do with a little imagination and different fabric.

I have so much fabric that I've been trying to use up what I have, without buying more. I thought a school print fabric would work great for an 8 year old girl. And, I gave her an apron so she has something to dress her with. I haven't attached the name tag yet cause I can't find my hole puncher.
Cutesy dolls are NOT my favorite dolls to make. I really like primitives MUCH better. But, who am I to turn down an offer for money??? Especially with vacation coming up next week!
I have a bunch of prim black dolls in the works and STILL have to finish up the boy dolls. They're waiting soooooo patiently. :)

“Spring is in the Air”
And Spring Cleaning is on my Agenda.
It feels so good to let the fresh air and sunshine in,
And clear all dust bunnies and cobwebs ...
