I'm making this for Emmy, Kenley's baby sister. I am LOVING how it is turning out! It's basically going to be a very soft and simple doll, with a little front pocket for a smaller doll. I saw a photo of something similar in one of my Christmas books from the 1970s, and thought, "hmm...I can probably figure this out". So, I whipped up a pattern, and here we are.
Here's the pocket. The fabric was just begging to be used for this particular project. As soon as I had my mind set on this doll, the super groovy blue and green print (from my fabric stash, of course) popped into my mind. I'm thinking of putting a little jingle bell or something crinkly inside the smaller doll, but I may just leave it soft, squishy, and silent. "Closed eyes with a smile" is my go-to face for the dolls I make. I can't seem to embroider them with open eyes. I always manage to make them look either wonky or creepy. Is it bad that I sort of want to keep this for myself? I can't deprive a 1 year old child of her Christmas gift. I'll just have to make another one for myself.
