I did get some more of my crochet for my doll
done.
This time I used
Make It Mine doll by Goodreau to model the outfit. I wanted to make sure it
fits several 1/4 scale dolls.
No witchy outfit is
complete without a pointy hat. So I made her one. I put a big red button on it
with some jingle bells. I made little loops like belt loops around it so it
could be threaded with a ribbon. That way the ribbon can be tied to loosen or tighten
the hat if needed. I made the hat to fit my alabaster doll head with her wig
on, so it just barely fits MIM doll. The MIM doll is more like a size 7/8 wig.
My doll is about a size 6. I just loved the silly buttons bells and ribbons for
her. They are cute and help pull the outfit together.
This is the side view. I also found out that the dye on the jingle bells is not fast. So I will have to be careful when I wash and size this. This thread has a lot of lint too. When I took the dress off the doll, she had black lint all over her body. I bought the name brand Red Heart too. I am looking around for new threads now. This is just not the thread I remember ever using.
I put bows and
jingle bells on the pockets too. The bells are so small they sound like sand
shifting and don't really jingle but maybe in the doll's world the sound is
jingling along.
This is the back view of her hat.
I hope to make her some matching jewelry to complete her look soon. But for now I need to get back to making her arms and legs.
