Dolls

Here it is, the middle of August and I’ve only posted one thing. Now I’m showing you something I made when I was a little girl because I still haven’t finished the jacket I’ve been working on all month. And don’t get your hopes up – it will look very unimpressive I’m afraid.

Looking back on the days of carefree sewing, my friend Anna and I shared an obsession with Cabbage Patch Kids. Mainly we made clothes for the dolls, but I think these were supposed to be dolls for our dolls to play with. I made the one on the left with the traditional dog dress and Anna made the little guy with the raised arms and silky pink vest. I find it interesting that I modeled the eyes and mouth after Cabbage Patch Kid features and Anna drew her nose that way, but my nose and her eyes and mouth are not like the dolls.
