Nellie's Apron

Hello dollmakers and doll lovers, here is a very simple primitive apron made of old muslin, i put a braid trim on her pockets, I wanted to keep her really simple and lovely. I also noticed that one pocket is a bit lower than the other, after seeing the picure, but decided to leave it that way for a more prim look. What do you think? Since Nellie is on her way to Grandmothers house, she will also be carrying a few wonderful items in her tin 'basket', which are still in the process of being completed. I know i am the slowest dollmaker in history, so please bare with me. For the life of me, i can not find those antique linen napkins...maybe i already used them? I guess i will have to make a trip to the Antique World Mall, so i can finish her chemise, and unders...what a fantastic idea,YIPPY!!!!!! I LOVE that place!
Well Big Lovin Dollie Hugs to ya,

Nellie an Izannah walker Red Riding Hood Cloth Doll

Hello, this is the begining of Nellies cloak, I have never made one before. Not sure on the closure i will use either, but it sure is fun creating and wish some of you 'crafty' sisters where here with me! I used an old fabric, somewhat like bark cloth, very textured and hand dyed it red, and on the inside I used a wool fabric and dyed it also. The mixture is a bit different dont you think? Nellie is looking downward as to show the top of her cloak hood, is it too pointy? Any constructive critisism is much appreciated. Thank You girls for such lovely compliments on Nellie!!!!! Hope everyone is well and happy as fat puppies on a warm bed!
Many Fat Dollie Hugs to you all,
Jackie

Nellie as Little Red Riding Hood

Nellie, a reproduction Izannah Walker doll, will be wearing a Little read Riding Hood cloak. I dont want to change her name but i could call her Little Nellie Riding Hood? What do ya think? I've made her a red cloak lined with wool fabric,and i was also thinking about changing her hair line at the top of her forhead, it doesnt look right to me, I'd love to hear what you think, so please drop me a note if you have a moment.
Many Dollie Hugs,
Jackie
