Because of my desire to make a Shirley Temple doll, I have found myself on a search for a child doll pattern that works best for the doll that I have in my mind's eye. One that will give me a doll that will "look" like Shirley Temple to me. So, I have decided to make all the various patterns that I have been able to find that may give me the finished product I am looking for and this is the first doll that I have finished. She is 18" tall and has a front face piece, a 2-piece back of the head and a long gusset that connects the two. Hopefully, as I finish the different dolls and can see what each style of head, arms, etc. actually looks like when it is finished, I can compare until I find the doll pattern I will use for my Shirley Temple doll or create my own pattern using the techniques that I learn from making these various dolls. These are all great patterns and I am sure that this is going to be fun! :<}
This quote says it all for me: "I do not understand how anyone can live without one small place of enchantment to turn to." My small place is my studio area in the corner of my living room. My Whimcees are all the dolls, bears and other creatures that I sew from cloth or sculpt from clay, the cards and papercraft projects that I create. It is with this blog I hope to share my world created in my small space.
