I decided to make each of the girls one of the dolls for Easter (or early Easter because I couldn't wait) and then one for my sweet niece Madison, who will also be over for Easter. It took me longer than expected because the house got taken down with a nasty virus, BUT they are finally finished. I took a few shortcuts here and there since I was making three. For instance, the skirt isn't as fancy as the pattern shows or I didn't add as much trim in places. I don't think the girls will know any different. Also, one of the dolls is a little lalaloopsy as in a tad bit lopsided but that adds to the charm, right?! I also made sure the button eyes matched the girls eyes. Baby relish is the only one with brown eyes. These were tons of fun to make!

Here is little relish, I mean Merida, loving on her new doll...


I decided to give it to her early since she has had it rough the last 3 days. She was hit the hardest with the stomach bug. Poor girl :( Also, if you notice the little blanket under the dolls in the picture... Little relish made that blanket! Seriously!!! I have a computerized sewing machine and she sat on my lap and did all the work! Lowered and lifted the presser foot, pressed the "go/stop" button, the backstitch button and then the scissor button (to cut the thread). She got a bit dizzy when the machine was making the star boarder and excused herself, hahaha, but I think I might have a new sewing buddy! Love her!
I really enjoyed the hand embroidery part of this project and might even try my hand (pun intended) at a few hand embroidery projects while on the cruise next month...so I don't have too much sewing withdrawal. I am known to do a lot of online fabric shopping while we travel....oops.
You can purchase the pattern online from the shop here...Roxy and Lola Ragdoll Pattern.
I also snatched up a Dresden plate template at this booth and cant wait to make one! Maybe a large pillow first.
