Our First Doll Pattern: Spring Doll

        We’ve been hard at work on developing our first ever doll pattern! It’s been a long project so far, but I think we’re finally making some major headway. The first doll we are trying to make is a spring-time doll. I am helping out here and there, but for the most part, this is my mom’s project. And she has been really working hard on perfecting the details. Below you can see the progress we’ve made so far. Keep in mind this is only a practice doll, and our first trial run….

        As you can see, her coat and boots look a little crazy!! This is because we always work with our old scraps of cheaper felt when working on any practice design, so we’ve just been using all the random felt pieces that are laying around. I can’t tell you how many different boots my mom has tried before she finally got the look down!! And the same can be said for the coat. She tried at least three different coats before getting it to this point! And so now she’s working on developing the rain hat. So our doll may not look very polished yet, but she’s already come a long way, haha!!

        This will hopefully be the first of many dolls that we design. This doll, being a spring doll, is going to be the first in a four doll set of “Seasons Dolls”. So next we will be working on a summer doll. And we have many more ideas beyond this first seasons series!! We hope you like how she looks so far.
