To start off let me show off what I came home with the other night—
Oh yeah. a velvet blue striped couch….one with a bit of wood character to satisfy the honey and one with spunk to satisfy me. After a good washing and waxing this sweet little gal will be taken to the new home! Still working on it– of course. No updates, except it does smell a little less wee-wee-ish now. Thanks for the hints and help.
We seem to be attracted to horrible homes that need love and fixing. {it's like bad boyfriends or something}
As if you couldn't tell I am on a doll kick— I went to the thrift store and picked up a cute crochet edged embroidered pillow case and brought it home.
I thought to myself that I would love to make a doll out of an old heirloom pillowcase…… I of course looked around the internet to find something and they were all like— grab a bunch of pillowcase and tie together for an arm. That is not the style I was after. I wanted to showcase the wonderful handwork and stitchery that was done on the pillowcase itself.
So, after a few sketches and a bit of fiddleing around I made myself my first pillowcase doll~
I am truly in love with her. Her simplicity. Her beautiful embroidery and crochet that I didn't do– but she gets to show it off. I debated on a face and ended up with none. I like her like this.
She seriously is an easy pattern for beginners and doll makers.
Her pattern is not quite done yet– will be shortly though!
